    Judging by the ceramics, the upper layers of Uzerlik-Tepe are contemporary with the cultural deposits in the thus far uninvestigated settlements in the Mil steppe (Geoy-Tepe, Rasul-Tepe, Nargiz-Tepe, Khan-Tepe [lessen 1965a:18]) and the basins of the Guru and Kendalan rivers (Aliyev and Ismailov 1969:48).
