Monuments of ancient material cultures have been found in abundance on the Aral Sea coasts. There are numerous campsites of early man, as well as ruins of buildings dated to classical antiquity or to the medieval period found along the tributaries and lakes in the Amudarya and Syrdarya deltas.

5 Conclusions In the evolution of the Aral Sea there may be distinguished two marine stages (see Table 1) separated by a long continental interval that lasted through the entire Pleistocene. During that interval the sea disappeared and subaerial processes were active on its dry floor. The first marine stage (the Aral Sea prehistory) lasted from the Late Pliocene up to the Pleistocene. The depression was already in existence and in the Late Pliocene was subsequently flooded by Akchagylian and Apsheronian transgressions of the Caspian Sea forming vast marine bays with essentially freshened water.
