Offering cutting-edge contributions from an international team of scholars, it considers the driving forces behind the Indo-European migrations during the 3rd and 2nd millenia BC. The volume explores the rise of the world's first pastoral nomads the Yamnaya Culture in the Russian Pontic steppe including their social organization, expansions, and the transition from nomadism to semi-sedentism when entering Europe. It also traces the chariot conquest in the late Bronze Age and its impact on the expansion of the Indo-Iranian languages into Central Asia. In the final section, the volumes consider the development of hierarchical societies and the origins of slavery. A landmark synthesis of recent, exciting discoveries, the book also includes an extensive theoretical discussion regarding the integration of linguistics, genetics, and archaeology, and the importance of interdisciplinary research in the study of ancient migration.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 286mmItem Length: 224mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 1240gContributor: Kristian Kristiansen (Edited by), Eske Willerslev (Edited by), Guus Kroonen (Edited by)Genre: Language & ReferenceAuthor: Kristian Kristiansen, Guus Kroonen, Eske WillerslevType: ArchaeologyISBN-10: 1009261746Topic: History, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
