Akbar Bababekov , Shukhrat Shonazarov , Dilmurod Normurodov ,Abstract
The article presents the results of archaeological and ethnographic research conducted on sites located on the left bank of the Mojrumsay stream in the Forish District of Jizzakh Region. Special attention is given to the architectural features of a medieval mosque and its adjoining chambers (hujras), which offer insights into the religious and domestic environment of that historical period. Additionally, the study examines evidence of an ancient trade route that once passed through the Mojrumsay valley, highlighting the historical and strategic significance of the area. The historical and cultural complexes are analyzed from both archaeological and ethnographic perspectives. The authors propose the necessity of comprehensive study, preservation, and future musealization of the identified heritage sites. This research was carried out within the framework of grant project No. ALM-202403110244 titled “Enhancing the Tourism Potential of the Forish District Based on the Harmony of Historical Sites and Natural Landscapes”.
