Abstract

This article explores the development and application of measurement units in Central Asia up to the 9th century. Measurement systems played a crucial role in the region's economic, social, and cultural life, being widely used in trade, agriculture, irrigation systems, construction, and architecture. Units such as misqal, botman, qarich, arshin, and farsakh were integral to daily life and international trade relations. The article also examines the adaptation of measurement systems in local and international trade processes and their contribution to the development of regional culture and economic connections. The research is based on historical sources, shedding light on the origins, evolution, and practical significance of these measurement systems. This study provides valuable insights into the history and culture of Central Asia.
