The article provides data on the geoarchaeological study of archaeological sites located in the Northern Tien Shan (southwestern part of Jetysu) in the upper reaches of the Turgen River. Archaeological sites are located on the surface of the moraine outlier. They lie one above the other, forming a complex multi-tiered structure. Depending on the initial position of the surface, there is a displacement of objects from the outlier ledge to its middle and closer to the edge. Geoarchaeological research has been carried out for a number of years, from 1999 to 2018. In the course of the work, data on the geology and geomorphology of the region were obtained, hydrogeological conditions were described, the modern vegetation of this territory was studied, a palynological analysis was carried out both of sediments, including an archaeological site (settlements), and from natural outcrops of the Holocene time, exposed in the floodplain of the Turgen River and of the Kyzyl-Bulak stream. The work carried out made it possible to significantly supplement the archaeological concepts with information about the paleoenvironment in which the development of the middle mountains of the Northern Tien Shan took place. In addition, these materials were used to correlate climatic events that took place in the desert and mountainous regions of the arid zone of Central Asia in the Holocene.
