The article examines the issues of handicrafts and trade in the city of Jizzakh on the eve of its conquest by the Russian Empire. Owing to its location at an important crossroads of the Great Silk Road, linking the Samarkand–Tashkent and Fergana directions, in the mid-19th century Jizzakh developed such craft industries as pottery, blacksmithing, weaving, leatherworking, jewelry-making, soap-making, chest-making, and sericulture, along with domestic and external trade. Based on an analysis of archival documents, oral history data, and the scholarly works of researchers, the article highlights the branches of urban handicraft, their products, production technology, and interregional trade relations.
