Description

Challenge long-held assumptions about the people of Inner Asia during the second half of the first millennium BC. While these populations were often categorized solely as nomadic warriors, this scholarly work presents a different reality based on recent archaeological discoveries in southeastern Kazakhstan. By examining the material record, this book provides a detailed look at the social structures of the region. Through the study of ancient plant remains, animal bones, and mudbricks, the research reveals a complex society that practiced both agriculture and animal husbandry. Readers will learn how these ancient groups cultivated essential crops like wheat, barley, and two types of millet, while also managing livestock including sheep, goats, cattle, and horses. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the history of Asian states and empires. It moves beyond the simple narrative of conflict to show the diverse ways these ancient people lived, worked, and organized their societies in Central Asia.
