The study highlights the formation of irrigated agriculture, the development of pastoralism, and interactions between sedentary and nomadic populations. Based on archaeological evidence, the settlement patterns of tribes, their material culture, and ethnocultural processes in the region are examined. The results demonstrate that the Bronze Age laid an important foundation for later historical-cultural regions and ethnogenetic processes in Central Asia.
