Kurgans, Yaz culture, Pashkurt Valley, Central Asia, Bactria, landscape archaeologyThe valleys of the Kugitang piedmont (Sherabad District, Surkhandarya Province, Uzbekistan) have been
investigated by the Czech‑Uzbekistani expedition since 2011. Over the last three years, hundreds of stone fea‑
tures have been detected and preliminarily interpreted as kurgans (i.e. burial mounds); the purpose of these
features, however, still remains unclear. Consequently, the kurgans started to be systematically investigated
in 2017. This report presents preliminary results of the field survey, a morphological description and a basic
spatial analysis of the kurgans within clusters, and the clusters themselves within the surrounding landscape.
