The Tashbulak monument is considered to be one of the most widely studied archaeological monuments in theterritory of Uzbekistan. This site is located in the mountainous region of Jizzakh region, and includes an ancientcemetery which was found together with the monument. This article compares two different approaches to thestudy of skulls - «geometric-morphometric analysis» and «craniology method». Initial studies of the skullsusing the geometric-morphometric method did not reveal relationships among the inhabitants of the site, exceptfor a few similarities. For this reason, the method of craniology, previously unused in this context has beenapplied. The results of craniological analysis repeated the results of geometric-morphometric analysis. Thisstudy also assesses the advantages and limitations of both methods in the context of physical anthropologyin Uzbekistan. While craniometry faces challenges when working with small collections, such as difficultiesin comparing a limited number of skulls, its advantage lies in standardizing data preparation for physicalanthropology studies. On the other hand, the geometric-morphometric method, despite its requirement forcomplete re-measurement of the collection for comparison, offers a lower probability of error and facilitatesautomatic and rapid statistical analysis using computer programs.
