Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of Saka bronze cauldrons stored in the collection of the State Museum of the History of Uzbekistan of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The purpose of this work is to publish and introduce into scientific circulation new samples of artifacts of nomadic peoples who lived on the vast territory of steppe regions not only in Uzbekistan, but also in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Of the eleven boilers considered in the article, three of them were published earlier. The author also considered it necessary to include them in his work and consider them in conjunction with other first-published boilers stored in the museum. Unfortunately, some of the boilers originate from random collections of old years of receipts and have not preserved information about the time and circumstances of the finds, but most likely they were found on the territory of Central Asia. The analysis of the study showed the use of boilers for ritual purposes for the preparation of sacrificial food, as well as the developed foundry production of the peoples who inhabited the territory of Central Asia in ancient times.

Key words: Uzbekistan, Tashkent region, nomadic Saka tribes, bronze cauldrons, ritual sacrificial food.
