Abstract
The aim of the presentation was to present a recently initiated student project, an intensive surface survey conducted under the aegis of the Czech-Uzbek Archaeological Expedition. By means of controlled field artefact collection, the survey focuses on the investigation of past human activities in the surroundings of Khaytabad Tepa in the middle Surkhan Darya basin, southern Uzbekistan.
The emphasis was placed on the project's methodology and the particularities of the research area, which have been severely damaged by agricultural activities in the past seventy years. Gathered data on artefact distribution in the landscape as well as some preliminary result of the first terrain season were presented to the international audience.
