THE STUDY OF THE CATACOMBS AND THE STONE DAKHMA TOMBS IN THE TERRITORY OF ANCIENT USTRUSHONA

Abstract

The article analyzes the reasons for the emergence and popularity of the catacombs and stone tombs studied in the area of Ancient Ustrushona. It has been studied that the emergence of new types of tombs, along with terraced tombs, barns and medieval tombs, was associated with ancient and early medieval migration processes. The fact that this situation had a great influence on the spiritual, religious and socio-political life of the ancient population was revealed on the basis of a comparative analysis of the monuments studied in other regions of Central Asia.
