Аннотация: The destruction of a major archaeological site in the 7th–9th centuries clearly demonstrates a lackof seismic knowledge of the region and, as a result, the neglected and underestimated seismic hazard assessmentin the Alabash-Konur-Oleng Depression region near the southern border of the Issyk-Kul basin on themap of the Kyrgyz Republic. The aim of the field studies was to assess the consequences of a seismic event,to identify damage to the integrity of archaeological structures, and to estimate the strength of an earthquakein a given region. To search for archaeological sites, aerial photography of the site along the Akterek River wascarried out—from the coast to the elevation of the Duvan Mountains. Field studies in the southern Issyk-Kulbasin and the Alabash-Konur-Oleng Depression led to the discovery of an ancient destroyed complex on thesouthern slope of the Duvan Mountains. This structure, located on a seismotectonic scarp, was destroyed byit and absorbed by a seismotectonic graben. Most likely, a strong (I0 ≥ 9) earthquake occurred during thecomplex’s existence, the 7th–9th centuries (?). There are other archaeological sites of various age in the Alabash-Konuroleng depression, bearing traces of the strongest seismic impacts, the study of which can helpextend the seismic catalog for centuries and contribute to a more accurate seismic hazard assessment of thearea of currently rising uplifts—the Adyrs (foothills) of the Terskey Ala-Too Range.
