Kindiktepa is a medieval village ruin (6th-12th centuries AD). It is located in Yakkabog district of Kashkadarya region. Initially, G. Ya. Dresvyanskaya, then S. B. Lunina (since 1980) conducted excavations. In northern side of Kindiktepa there is a high hill with an area of 35x20 metres. The ancient population of Kindiktepa drank water from Bolkhanariq. Kindiktepa did not have a defensive wall. Excavations showed that the central hill was the home of a local nobleman in the 6th-8th centuries, and a village was built around it. In the 9th century, the house was abandoned, and life did not revive on the central hill. In the 10th-12th centuries, Kindiktepa became a large village, it is assumed that it was the center of a small village that included several villages (Pokholtepa, Katta Javagatepa, Kichik Javaga, Bostontepa, etc.) in its sphere of influence. The fact that watermelon seeds were found in Kindiktepa indicates that the population was also engaged in policing. Remains of residential buildings, many pottery shards, etc. were found.
