The Suyarganovo culture was an archaeological culture of the late Bronze Age, appearing at the beginning of the second millennium BC, extending to around 1000 BC. The population of Suyarganovo culture, also known as Suyargan culture, lived in Aral, near Akcha Darya river, the area of the historic Khwarezm. Stanislav Grigoriev (2016) suggests Suyarganovo culture began sometime around 2500-2000 BC.

The Tazabagyab culture is from the late Bronze Age, ca. 1850 BC to 1500 BC, and flourished in the lower Zeravshan valley, as well as along the lower Amu Darya towards the south shore of the Aral Sea; this last region is known as Khwarazm or Khorezm. Earlier it was thought to be from ca. 1500 BC to 1100 BC and regarded a southern offshoot of the Andronovo culture, composed of Indo-Iranians, but Stanislav Grigoriev, in a recent study asserts that Tazabagyab is not part of the Andronovo cultural horizon.
