S. 41–47. Samarkand, 2013]. The appearance of this metal 
in South Uzbekistan and South-West Tajikistan, as we sup-
pose, is conditioned by the migration of groups of tribes 
of cultures of handmade painted ceramics from Fergana 
and Tashkent oasis into North Bactria and by making the 
connection between them and the local population. Most 
probably, interaction somehow stimulated the migration 
of population of the Sapalli culture in Tashkent oasis and, 
perhaps, the ore base full of metal in the northern lands, 
which was needed for development of the North Bactrian 
centre, because the centre had no ore sources and used the 
imported raw materials, played an important role. Sites of 
the handmade painted ceramics in South-East Central Asia 
and site of the ancient eastern type to the north of the region 
dated to the second half of the 2
nd
millennium BCE are not 
revealed yet. This circumstance as if eliminates the prob-
ability of migration of farming tribes from north to south 
and backwards in the given areas at that time. However, 
facts of presence of the imported metal from the northern 
and southern ore sources in collection of items from sites 
are the base for such an assumption. Opposite to the North 
Bactrian sites, metal of Fergana-Tashkent ore sources is 
not found in South Turkmenistan of the second half of the 
2
nd
millennium BCE. Apparently, at that time the connec-
tions between farmers of Margiana, Parthia and cultures 
of painted ceramics of the north of Central Asia were not 
made. In general, basin on the fulfilled spectral-analytical
