Offering a fresh archaeological interpretation, this work
reconceptualizes the Bronze Age prehistory of the vast Eurasian
steppe during one of the most formative and innovative periods of
human history. Michael D. Frachetti combines an analysis of newly
documented archaeological sites in the Koksu River valley of
eastern Kazakhstan with detailed paleoecological and
ethnohistorical data to illustrate patterns in land use,
settlement, burial, and rock art. His investigation illuminates the
practical effect of nomadic strategies on the broader geography of
social interaction and suggests a new model of local and regional
interconnection in the third and second millennia B.C.E. Frachetti
further argues that these early nomadic communities played a
pivotal role in shaping enduring networks of exchange across
Eurasia.
