Artifacts from the Ancient Silk Road explores the interconnectivity
of the Eurasian continent from 4000 BCE to 1000 CE. It focuses on
the role played by Central Asia through which passed the major
trade routes, the Silk Roads. Artifacts from the Ancient Silk Road
covers life along the Silk Road over 5000 years as it can be
understood by considering objects. In this first object-based study
to consider all of the peoples involved on the Silk Roads, objects
provide the vehicles for explorations of different aspects of life
for the various peoples of the Silk Roads, including the sedentary
peoples who established urban life on the Silk Roads, the steppe
nomads who regularly interacted with the settled peoples, and the
peoples at either end of the Silk Roads who drove certain kinds of
economic exchanges. The book looks at Central Asia as an
international zone during ancient times when multiple religious,
political, and technological ideas found acceptance in the region
and allows for a better understanding of how some ideas and forms
developed in Central Asia while others passed through or were
modified. Places important objects and artifacts within the context
of the history of the Silk Road Provides readers with guidance on
how to assess and analyze artifacts Offers an innovative way for
readers to learn about history through material culture Enables
fuller historical understanding by clarifying how the meanings of
artifacts are created through the interactions of objects and
people and how these meanings change over time
