The Murghad River delta, the site of ancient Margiana, was
extensively settled during at least part of the Bronze Age, between
2200 and 1750 B.C. Oases in an otherwise desert region, settlements
were situated along deltaic branches of the river or canals dug
from those branches. Excavations at one of the largest and most
complex of these sites, Gonur depe, have been ongoing for many
years under the direction of Victor Sarianidi. During the 1988-89
field season, Fred Hiebert excavated part of Gonur in collaboration
with the Ministry of Culture of Turkmenistan and the Institute of
Archaeology in Moscow.
Published here, the results provide a key to understanding the
large corpus of material of the Bactro-Margiana Archaeological
Complex extracted over the past 30 years from this and neighboring
sites of the Oxus civilization.
