Ancient human remains discovered in Batken were sent to European laboratories for in-depth analysis

Abdinabi Kadyrov, an associate professor with a PhD in history, estimates that there are 200 graves in the Kyzyl-Koshuun valley, which is located in the Ak-Tatyr municipality in the Batken district.

Early in July 2023, Turmush reported finding human remains and possibly important artifacts during archeological digs in the Batken region.

The excavations, which took place in the Kyzyl-Koshun location of Ak-Tatyr, Batken district, lasted ten days. There are between 150 and 200 historical and cultural monuments in the area overall, and five sites are now being explored.

During the dig, a jug, three iron knives, a dagger, an arrowhead, and the remnants of a belt were discovered. The museum at Batken State University has received these relics.

Six sets of human remains totaling three full skeletons and three incomplete ones were also found.

The recently discovered archaeological artifacts have been transferred to labs in Europe for in-depth analysis, which should take about five years. A more precise knowledge of the historical era to which these objects belong will be given by this thorough examination.
