Advances and New Perspectives in Central Asian Archaeology
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Advances and New Perspectives in Central Asian Archaeology" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
This symposium brings together researchers who focus on the wider Central Asian space, including the five post-Soviet Central Asian states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan), Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Xinjiang, and Mongolia, as well as the Volga-Ural region to discuss current approaches and questions in Central Asian archaeology. By addressing a wide range of topics that are relevant to Central Asia, we aim not only to connect scholars working across Central Asia but also highlight the work of new researchers and methodologies being employed in archaeological research in the region. We welcome papers that approach Central Asian archaeology from a variety of perspectives and methodologies that focus on archaeological research from across all periods of our human past.
