Abstract

In this article, on the basis of documents from the National Archives of Uzbekistan, materials from periodicals and scientific literature, the process of accumulation of "accidental" archaeological finds on the territory of Tashkent, its environs, Chimkent district and the city of Turkestan (now the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan), at that time included Syrdarya region of the Turkestan General Governorship of scientific interest. As a result, it is shown how these finds contributed to the intensification of archaeological research in the region, which contributed to the subsequent transformation of this field of science into a separate academic direction in Central Asia.

In addition, an attempt was also made to trace how "accidental finds", discovered mainly as a result of spontaneous and unprepared excavations of amateurs, tore the artifact out of the general context of the archaeological -archaeological site.
