"Concise and enlightening essays, . . . Collectively they paint a
complex picture of the prehistory and early history of the areas
covered by the Silk Roads, where grains, textiles, horses, and even
languages were constantly moving. . . . All contributors are
established scholars in their respective fields, so the articles
serve not only to advance new ideas but also to summarize existing
research."
