Description
Summary:The paper deals with the archaeological materials of the Yaz period from surveys carried out in the Serakhs oasis (Turkmenistan) by the Polish Archaeological Mission in 2007-2008 and the following seasons of archaeological work in the oasis, which brought to light 16 new sites of this period.
