Central Asia, Uzbekistan, field survey, oases, water sources, karezes, Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, Medieval PeriodAt the turn of August and September 2017, the third season of the research in the oases of the Kugitang Pied‑
monts, South Uzbekistan, resumed the field survey of the three oases that had been researched in previous
seasons (2015: Zarabag; 2016: Zarabag, Karabag, Kampyrtepa). The 2017 survey was conducted in the areas
of the modern villages of Maydon and Goz. The following report presents new archaeological data gained
from these two oases and their hinterlands. The methods used during the survey were the same as in the
previous seasons. The evidence of settlement shows similar patterns and dynamics that were recognized in
the other oases in the previous seasons.
