Аннотация
This article examines the role of urbanization and urban culture of Khorezm on the right bank (north side) of the Amu Darya River during the 9th-14th centuries as well as the historiography and the latest archaeological research of this region. The issue of possible connections between the towns of the right bank of the Amu Darya and the reasons for their appearance and abandonment is also considered. Special attention is paid to substantiating the identity of the site of Janpyk-kala with the medieval town of Arzakhiva, mentioned by al-
Muqaddasi (10th century). This article provides material for the study of medieval settlements when compiling a historical and topographic map of the Amu Darya’s right-hand-bank in Khorezm.
