The territory of Uzbekistan, located at the crossroads and connecting south with north and east with west, is one of the few oecumenes where, from ancient times, cultures have continuously developed, playing a prominent role in the development of the world history. According to its natural and geographical location, Samarkand region is located not only in Uzbekistan, but also in the central part of Central Asia. This natural geographical location also influenced the formation of a mixture of different cultures, a unique oriental spirit and image, and a rich history of the region. This process has a complex and interesting history. As a result of the research, many archaeological findings and material objects were obtained from the territory of Samarkand region, which reflect the fact that the interaction of cultures took place in the earliest times. One of the striking examples is the archaeological artifacts of the Bronze Age burial, recorded near the modern village of Muminabad, located in the territory of the Samarkand region. The burial ground is located on the left bank of one of the sais of the foothill strip of the left-bank Zarafshan. In particular, the article gives readers an opportunity to get acquainted with the ornaments discovered as a result of archaeological research of the settlement of Muminabad.
