MATERIAL CULTURE OF THE KAZAKHS OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

The article is devoted to the material culture of the Kazakhs of Uzbekistan, who find themselves outside the ethnic homeland. Special attention is paid to the issues of preserving the originality of the traditional culture and the ethnographic peculiarities prevailing in the foreign environment. On the basis of the study of special literature and fieldwork materials, it was revealed that both the continuity of the traditional economy, material culture, and their changes under the influence of local conditions were preserved, which is manifested in the peculiarities of the dwelling, clothing, the traditional food system, etc.
Тhe traditional clothes of the Kazakhs reflected national elements of local ethnic groups such as «chapan», which is tied with a belt scarf, a traditional headdress «skullcap», etc. as well as in the dwelling buildings of the Kazakhs, it was noticeable that all residential and household buildings were turned into the courtyard with windows and doors, open aivans, vineyards, and ‘tapchanes’ characteristic of the Uzbek peoples.
