bronze age and early iron age peoples of eastern central asia, volume oneWashington D. C.Published In 1998 • Pages: 238-263

By: Davis-Kimball, Jeannine.

AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
By describing some of the artifacts found throughout the Eurasian steppes, Davis-Kimball examines similarities in artifacts, artwork styles, metalurgy, and burial practices. These similarities probably occurred due to a common economic system and because of a strong trading network. Most of the cross cultural interaction may have originated in the Semirechiye, a central area with productive grasslands.
