Аnnotation: For the first time we have conducted the archeoseismological study in Eylatan and Kuyul'tepe ancient settlements in the Fergana Valley (Namangan Oblast', Uzbekistan). Both settlements have traces of strongest seismic effects. In Eylatan it is a systematic 4-meters left-lateral displacement of sublongitudinal walls along a sublatitudinal seismogenic fault. In Kuyul'tepe in an archeological trench we have discovered numerous ruptures and fissures. Eylatan was apparently destroyed in I century BC by a strong ( M
