Description

Explore groundbreaking archaeological research in southeastern Kazakhstan that challenges traditional views of Inner Asian societies in the second half of the first millennium BC. This Routledge publication presents compelling evidence from material remains including pottery, animal bones, ancient plant remains, and mudbricks to reveal that prehistoric peoples of Central Asia were not solely nomadic warriors but engaged in sophisticated agricultural and pastoral practices. Archaeological findings demonstrate cultivation of wheat, barley, and two varieties of millet alongside herding of sheep, goats, cattle, and horses, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of early Inner Asian civilisation. Drawing on decades of fieldwork and analysis, this book combines rigorous archaeological methodology with accessible narrative to provide scholars, students, and history enthusiasts with fresh perspectives on Central Asian prehistory and the complex societies that flourished across this vital region.
