The ancient archaeological site of Bunjikat (Russian: Бунджикат Tajik: Бунҷикат), also named Shahriston, is located near the town of Bunjikat, in the Shahristan Pass at the entrance of the Ferghana Valley, in Sughd Province of western Tajikistan, just west of the town of Kairma.

[1] Bunjikat was the former capital city of the Principality of Ushrusana between the 6th and 9th Centuries CE.

[3] The Principality probably retained a certain level of autonomy throughout this period, and was ruled directly by the afshins of the Kavus dynasty.

[4] Several large buildings and fortresses are located in Bunjikat, such as Kalai Kahkaha I (a Palace) and Kalai Kahkaha II (a grand building on an elevated terrace), dated from the 6th to 8th century CE.

[2] This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on November 9, 1999 in the Cultural category.
