Abstract

Archaeological science turns to the method of comparative analysis as well as to the science of natural history if when determining the period of existence of one monument, objects that establish a clear chronology are not discovered (year of minting of certain coins, written materials). Relative periodization is the dating method most commonly used by archaeologists. According to this, architectural features of buildings, patterns of ceramic cladding, types of clay vessels, the shape of burial grounds, the position of skeletons, orientation of the head, and other data discovered during archaeological excavations are compared to determine dating with analogs within the region or other regions. To determine the absolute dating of a monument, the C14 radiocarbon method is often used. Radiocarbon analyses are carried out in special laboratories using modern instruments. To do this, it is necessary to take samples of organic substances (wood, coal, bones, etc.) found during excavations. The purpose of the article was to determine the relative and absolute dating of mounds № 3, 6 and №7 at the Myntobe Necropolis, located in the lower reaches of the Keles River. For comparative dating, archaeological data from the above mounds were compared with their analogs in the region of Uzbekistan, on the banks of the Syrdarya and Arys rivers. To determine the absolute dating, dental samples of the skeletons were taken and analyzed in the Tubitak laboratory in Turkey. Thus, the exact dating of the above mounds was determined. Thus, the exact dating of the above mounds was determined.
