Tekabket

Tekabket was one of the medieval towns of the upper Talas valley, in the mountain country south of Taraz. Along with Shelji, Sus and Kul, it belonged to a district known for its silver and lead ores. Mining and metalworking helped support the towns of the valley, whose products reached Taraz and the wider trading routes of Central Asia. The town has been identified with the remains at Aktobe near Talas.
