This article examines the Bronze Age culture of the Khorezm Oasis and its cultural interactions with southern and northern neighbors, as well as the region’s paleoecological conditions and migratory processes. The study analyzes Bronze Age sites, ceramic and metal artifacts, animal figurines, anthropological data, and river systems to assess their impact on the cultural and economic development of the region. The article also provides information on the settlement patterns of sedentary and semi-nomadic communities, their agricultural and pastoral activities, and their adaptation to water resources and climatic conditions.
