Abstract

We started system archaeological works on the settlement of Shoi-Tobe (near the city of Turkestan). As a result, new data on the history of the upper construction horizon were obtained. Stratigraphic, numismatic, and topographic studies finally convince that the medieval city ceased to exist in the first decade of the XIV century. This settlement is the only one in the region that can be correlated with the historical city of Shavgar, the medieval capital of the district. This is evidenced by the complex of glazed ceramics, and numismatic collection obtained during excavations in shahristan.
