Studies in Honor of Victor N. PilipkoMoscowStaryi Sad2023124-145Transactions of the Margiana Archaeological Expedition 9The article discusses all the monuments and individual archaeological finds that have been identified so far, which are associated with the spread of Christianity in the first centuries AD in the northern provinces of the Parthian kingdom, and then the power of the Sassanids. The historiography of the topic and a brief overview of the history of the Church of the East on the territory of these states are given. Widespread in the literature the attribution of some objects in Margiana as connected with Christianity comes under criticism. Undoubtedly, only one monument, known as Kharaba-koshk, is recognized as Christian.
