This article examines the economic activities and social structure of the Saka tribes inhabiting the Aral Sea region and Khorezm during the Early Iron Age. Based on archaeological evidence from settlements, burial mounds, and written sources, the study analyzes nomadic, semi-nomadic, and sedentary forms of pastoralism. Particular attention is paid to the seasonal use of pastures in the Sarykamysh, Davdon, Daryalyk, and ancient Uzboy river basin areas, as well as the territorial organization of Saka communities.
