Аnnotation: A number of archeological monuments in the Northern Issyk-Kul lake region (the Tien Shan) in Chet-Koysuu and Chon-Koysuu river basins had been studied. All monuments were undergone by significant seismogenic deformations and destructions. A cromlech (VII century BC - VIII century AD) was displaced by sinistral strike-slip fault. A kurgan (VII-XIII centuries AD) was deformed in a front of the reversed fault scarp. A fortress (XIV-XV centuries AD) has submerged under the lake water during the catastrophic subsidence of the coastal belt. We have identified a zone of the seismogenic rupture. It is located along the Kultor border fault, which divides the Issyk-Kul depression and its mountain surrounding - Kungey Ala-Too Range. During the earthquake there was formed a seismogenic reverse fault scarp. A magnitude of displacement along the rupture was 1.6 m that corresponds to an earthquake with М
