This collection of works embraces a broad area of archarological problems pertinent to Central and East Asia.
Chronologically, the included papers cover the time span from Paleolithic through Middle Ages. Yet particularly noteworthy is the fact that most of the authors approach their objectives with a plethora of innovative methods borrowed from such scientific fields as chemistry, biology, physics, and IT, often in combination, integrated into the methodologies traditionally employed by archaeologists.
This book is expected to be of interest to archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, culturologists, biologists, physicists, ethnographers, as well as anyone involved in multidisciplinary studies of the distant past.
