The article publishes the results of archeological reconnaissances conducted in 2025 on the Ay-Petri and Yalta yaylas. Work was carried out on the territory of the koshes – seasonal settlements of cattle breeders. Nine shafts with a total area of 19 square meters were dug on four sites: Endek-kosh, Endek-gol, Sungurta-kosh, and Iograf-kosh. These sites were explored for the first time. During the excavations, artifacts were discovered dating back to the late bronze age and early iron age, middle age and recent times, as well as the skeletal remains of animals. In addition, soil analysis profiles were prepared. The study of koshes provides valuable material for the study of the historical, cultural and farming aspects of the life of the nomadic tribes of the Crimean Mountains.
