The initial archaeological and exploration studies on the territory of the Ayakagytma depression werecarried out by an archaeological expedition led by A.V.Vinogradov in the 1960s, when several locationsof stone tools of the Middle Paleolithic era were discovered. Since Uzbekistan gained its independence,intensive archaeological studies have been carried out within the territory of the Ayakagytma depressionby the Uzbek-Polish (since 1995) and Uzbek-French (since 2009) joint international expeditions. Here theNeolithic site of Ayakagytma was discovered and studied to make the findings internationally known. Theresearch was carried out in two directions: the Neolithic and Paleolithic monuments across this territorywere studied. In 2012, in the vicinity of the depression, 11 sites were recorded by stone artifacts, tentativelyattributed to the Late Paleolithic.In the summer of 2021, a team of specialists from the Samarkand Institute of Archeology and SamarkandState University carried out reconnaissance and field research on the northern side of the Ayakagytmadepression. As a result, a new Neolithic site, Ayakagytma 2, was discovered here. A collection of stoneartifacts (over 15 items) of the Paleolithic time was collected at the site and its environs. Those alsocomprised flakes and plates, covered with thick patina.The Neolithic site identified here is single-layered. However, the Paleolithic artifacts moved here as aresult of the destruction of the ancient side of the depression under the influence of natural phenomena.Based on the state of conservation and execution technique, these stone products can be attributed to theMiddle Paleolithic. This article is devoted to the technical and typological studies of the above-mentionedcollection of stone tools.
