On the site of the hill «Qo’y-Tepa», located in the Dostlik neighborhood of the Pastdargom district of the Samarkand region, a military fortification, dating from III-II centuries B.C was found.  This was reported by the press service of the district administration.

It is noted that at present there is a scientific expedition by Italian and Samarkand archaeologists. In the course of scientific research, scientists have uncovered unique finds, such as the walls of the fortress, a large jug, a cup, a small statuette, and a seal.  According to scientists, this historical site was a military fortification, protecting from external enemies.
