THE FORMATION OF AGRICULTURAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS IN THE KHOREZM STATE DURING THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES (BASED ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH).

This article analyzes the formation of agricultural and economic systems in the Khorezm State during the Early Middle Ages based on archaeological evidence. The study examines the natural and geographical conditions of the Khorezm oasis, irrigation systems associated with the ancient channels of the Amu Darya, and the main directions of economic activity. Archaeological findings such as crop seeds, field remains, storage facilities, and irrigation structures make it possible to reconstruct the economic life, agricultural practices, and food supply of the population. Given the fragmentary nature of written sources, particular emphasis is placed on the scientific value of archaeological materials in studying the early medieval economy of Khorezm.
