This collection of essays presents a synthesis of current research
on the Oxus Civilization, which rose and developed at the turn of
the 3rd to 2nd millennia BC in Central Asia. First discovered in
the 1970s, the Oxus Civilization, or the Bactria-Margiana
Archaeological Complex (BMAC), has engendered many different
interpretations, which are explored in this volume by an
international group of archaeologists and researchers. Contributors
cover all aspects of this fascinating Bronze Age culture:
architecture; material culture; grave goods; religion; migrations;
and trade and interactions with neighboring civilizations, from
Mesopotamia to the Indus, and the Gulf to the northern steppes.
Chapters also examine the Oxus Civilization's roots in previous
local cultures, explore its environmental and chronological
context, or the possibly coveted metal sources, and look into the
reasons for its decline. The World of the Oxus Civilization offers
a broad and fascinating examination of this society, and provides
an invaluable updated resource for anyone working on the culture,
history, and archaeology of this region and on the multiple
interactions at work at that time in the ancient Near East.
