Abstract

The article is devoted to a ceramic ossuary found at the urban settlement site of Dal’varzintepa (Southern Uzbekistan) in a burial structure — a crypt cut into the thickness of a swollen city wall of the Kushan period. The ossuary rite was not typical for the Early Medieval Northern Tokharistan, and so the find is unique and of great interest. The author has attempted to explain the reasons for the appearance of this artifact in Dal’varzintepa.
