On November 26, ceremonies were held in Turkmenistan to hand over more than 300 unique archaeological artifacts to leading museums in the country, including the State Museum in Ashgabat and the Arkadag Museum of History and Local Lore.
These finds were the result of large-scale archaeological excavations conducted as part of the “State Program for 2022–2028” and represent important evidence of the country’s historical and cultural heritage.
Among the most significant exhibits are a ceramic vessel from the Eneolithic period from Paryz Depe, a silver coin of Alexander the Great, and numerous other artifacts found at renowned archaeological sites in Turkmenistan, such as Old Nisa, Altyn Depe, and Namazga Depe. These finds not only demonstrate the high level of handicraft production and trade relations in ancient times but also highlight the importance of the Silk Road as a hub of cultural exchange and economic progress.
Particular attention is being paid to the restoration and preservation of these valuable objects, as well as their subsequent museumification and the introduction of modern technologies for the recording and protection of archaeological finds. Archaeological research continues, revealing new chapters in the history of Turkmenistan and its contribution to global cultural and scientific progress.
