Osh State University Scientists Discover New Archaeological Site in Kara-Suu District
Scientists from Osh State University have discovered a new archaeological site dating back to the 2nd–1st millennium BC during an expedition to the Shut settlement in the Papan district of Kara-Suu.
The research team, led by geologist Abidzhapar Akkulov, uncovered numerous ceramic fragments, petroglyphs (rock carvings), and other artifacts. Preliminary analysis indicates that the ceramics may belong to the Iron Age, while the petroglyphs likely date back to the Bronze Age.
These discoveries provide valuable insights into the cultural and economic life of the region in ancient times. The site has been officially documented, and its information entered into the national heritage register maintained by the Ministry of Culture, Information, Sports and Youth Policy.
The research team included Dr. Sabyr Arstanov, Dr. Saltanat Alisher kyzy, and graduate student Kuttubek Orunbay uulu from the Department of Kyrgyz History, Archaeology, and Ethnology. Local residents and forestry workers also contributed to the work of the expedition.
According to Akkulov, the idea for the study emerged during his earlier visit to the area in February, when he was invited by local activists to assess forest and pasture conditions. Noticing traces of ancient settlements, he later organized a scientific expedition to explore the site in detail.
Experts note that further research could shed new light on the ancient history of southern Kyrgyzstan. The unique natural landscape of the Shut pasture also offers great potential for developing eco-historical tourism in the region.
This discovery highlights Osh State University’s ongoing contribution to preserving and studying the rich cultural heritage of Kyrgyzstan’s southern region.
