Abstract

As a result of archeological excavations carried out in recent years, we learn that Samarkand merchants established trade and diplomatic relations with Silla, one of the first countries in medieval Korea. The article deals with the trade and diplomatic relations of Sughd with the Silla state in the early Middle Ages. The history of Sughd handicrafts, internal and external trade and economic relations is also presented in detail on the basis of comparative-scientific analysis of existing written and archeological data.
