Terracotta is one of the most abundant archaeological materials that are often found during excavations ofarchaeological sites of the pre-Arab period or when monitoring their condition. The ancient settlement ofKafirkala is a small but extraordinary city, which presumably served as the residence of the rulers of Samarkandduring the 7th and early 8th centuries. During this period, pottery production reached a high level here, includingthe production of artistic ceramics and terracotta. The terracotta obtained during excavations at the site wasdivided into several groups: – hand-made; made using a combined technique - combining hand modeling and astamp (in which the head, or less often the entire front part, was imprinted); and stamped terracotta (figurines,plaquettes, moldings and stamp impressions on ceramics). Typically, the methodology for studying CentralAsian stamped terracotta is based on iconographic analysis and selection of analogies, but in this case itstechnological features are also taken into account. An analysis of the finds of Sogdian stamped figurines ofhorsemen showed that there were a limited number of initial matrices for making terracottas, but which werewidely used by the artisans of Kafirkala. The article also examines the cult orientation of individual charactersin terracottas and images on ceramic vessels.
