For the first time a comprehensive presentation of the development of urban cultures
in Central Asia from the Early Bronze Age (around 3000 BC) to the Middle Ages (about
1200 AD) is exemplarily illuminated in this book on the basis of individual research
projects. The treated area extends from Turkmenistan to Mongolia and was home to cultures
such as the Bronze Age Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), the Sogdian
of the Iron Age, the early Parthian or various early medieval ones, namely in the
Zhetysu (?Seven Stream country?) in the southeast of Kazakhstan. The urban civilizations
that developed here were closely interrelated, on the one hand, with the cultures
of the nomadic ranchers who traversed and inhabited this vast region and, on the other
hand, with the more developed neighboring civilizations of the Near East and the Far
East. Thus, the region became a diverse exchange zone of cultural and religious influences
and also played a major role in the transmission of cultural impulses.0The richly
illustrated book reflects the contributions of a conference that took place in Bern
in 2016 and includes 28 contributions from 50 researchers from 14 countries. The results
of many of the excavations presented here will be published in English for the first
time. Each article is accompanied by an extensive bibliography and a Russian abstract
