Domestic Crafts from the Eneolithic Sarazm Materials

Archaeological evidence from the Proto-urban Site of Sarazm reveals that domestic crafts played a pivotal role in the Eneolithic economy, complementing agriculture and livestock breeding. The study identifies a diverse range of craft activities—including leatherworking, wickerwork, weaving, woodworking, pottery, and metallurgy—each reflected through specific tools and artifacts found within dwelling complexes. Stone tools linked to farming (e.g., tillage, reaping) and metal items associated with ore processing highlight the sophistication of subsistence strategies during this period. The research underscores Sarazm's advanced economic productivity, blending agricultural dominance with specialized craft production.
