Asia and Scandinavia: New perspectives on the early Medieval Silk Roads (The Bulletin of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, #8)

Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson

0/5 ( ratings)

Archaeological finds from East Scandinavia show that people in the north-western periphery of Eurasia at times had contact with networks in Asia. And archaeological research in Asia shows that areas that are perceived as 'a periphery' had their own history as communication routes and areas of innovation, and that certain raw materials at times were transported from west to east. Since the 19th century these networks are sometimes referred to as the Silk Roads, a term with its own history, worth exploring as is the question of what investments are needed to send a traveller along this route. These themes are covered in a well-illustrated volume with extensive bibliographies.
