颇肯特遗址,位于泽拉夫善河的下游的末端(乌兹别克斯坦西南布哈拉州,与土库曼斯坦交界处)。

在古代,泽拉夫善河最终汇入阿姆河,现在支流已经干涸了。

阿拉伯人在公元7世纪,进入颇肯特地区时,支流已经没有水了。

布哈拉城建立了输水渠道,将水引过来。

因为泽拉夫善河的上游是撒马尔罕城,基本依靠泽拉夫善河提供撒马尔罕用水。

撒马尔罕、布哈拉与颇肯特的人都是饮用泽拉夫善河。

有趣的是,在当地中心城市布哈拉的周边有像长城一样的防御系统,环绕着布哈拉。

颇肯特遗址就有着守城的功能。建立像长城一样的建筑,以及一系列小城,是为了抵御周边游牧民族的入侵。

这里在粟特时期,主要功能是抵御周边游牧民族的入侵。而在阿拉伯时期,也就是伊斯兰时期,转变成了为了抵御非伊斯兰民族的入侵。

发现“布哈拉长城”的遗址后花了34年时间,才找到了颇肯特遗址。

最新的发现就是这个遗址,根据考古学家推测,可能是武士居住的地方。
