Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
From the Bronze Age through the Middle Ages, a network of trade and migration routes
brought people from across Eurasia into contact. Their commerce included political,
social, and artistic ideas, as well as material goods such as metals and textiles.
Reconfiguring the Silk Road offers new research on the earliest trade and cultural
interactions along these routes, mapping the spread and influence of Silk Road economies
and social structures over time. This volume features contributions by renowned scholars
uncovering new discoveries related to populations that lived in the Tarim Basin, the
advanced state of textile manufacturing in the region, and the diffusion of domesticated
grains across Inner Asia. Other chapters include an analysis of the dispersal of languages
across the Eurasian Steppe and a detailed examination of the domestication of the
horse in the region. Contextualized with a foreword by Colin Renfrew and introduction
by Victor Mair, Reconfiguring the Silk Road provides a new assessment of the intercultural
evolution along the steppes and beyond. Contributors: David W. Anthony, Elizabeth
