Shifting drivers of holocene fire regimes in Uzbekistan
International audience
Archaeological investigations at the late 2nd millennium BCE site of Kimirek-Kum 1, Uzbekistan
Ancient pottery in Central Asia. Archaeological and archaeometric approaches. Introduction to the special issue
Inhabiting the central Asian mountains
Occupation and local resource exploitation at Kimirek-kum 1 (Uzbekistan)
[Re]Integrating a dispersed agenda
Amid resurgent geopolitical fissures and in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a growing awareness in the sector of the need for, and concern about, national and international collaboration in archaeological projects. This article reflects on present-day challenges for international collaboration in central Eurasian archaeology and furthers a much-needed discussion about (re)integrating local narratives with inter-regional trends in…
Migrations et échanges sur la « Route de la soie » aux périodes protohistoriques
Si la Route de la soie désigne le réseau le plus important par son ampleur géographique et commerciale, les échanges entre l’Orient et l’Occident passant par l’Asie centrale sont attestés depuis les périodes anciennes
Mobility and land use in the Greater Khorasan Civilization
Archaeometric investigations of the Molali pottery complex (Bronze Age, Uzbekistan)
Effondrement ou évolution de la civilisation de l’Oxus
La disparition de la Civilisation de l’Oxus en Asie centrale méridionale vers le milieu du second millénaire avant n. è. représente une rupture majeure dans le développement historique de cette région et constitue un cas d’étude intéressant des transitions socioculturelles. Par l’examen de l’évolution des productions céramiques à cette période, nous discutons ici l’impact des interactions entre les divers groupes de populations dans ces mutations…
Pluralising power
Archaeological research on Bronze Age central Eurasia often recognizes 'exotic' materials and practices as the outcome of migration and trans-regional exchange. In this analysis, we bring together two significant datasets that have long referred to one another but have rarely conversed analytically: 'southern' ceramics in northern central Eurasia and reciprocal 'northern' ceramics in southern Central Asia. Taking the amalgamation of technical tra…
The end of the Oxus Civilization
From its origins, the latest phase of the Oxus Civilization is described as a collapse. From ca. 1800/1700 BC and for over 300 years, it testifies of arrhythmic and uneven changes at various levels in the material culture, the subsistence economy, the settlements, the political system, the burial practices, and the symbolic world in comparison with the previous mature phase. This chapter offers an update on the archaeological features, still poor…
The first combined archaeological and archaeometric analyses on Bronze Age pottery from Kyrgyzstan (Uch Kurbu site)
High-Altitude Agro-Pastoralism in the Kyrgyz Tien Shan
The highlands of Central Asia posed considerable challenges to early agriculturalists, yet the processes of human subsistence strategies there remain poorly understood. In this paper, we present results from the excavation of the Chap in Kyrgyzstan. The recovery of a rich macrobotanical assemblage consisting of several crop species and crop processing debris, together with skeletal remains of pastoral livestock, indicate a localized agro-pastoral…
Preliminary results of new archaeological surveys in the Nuratau Mountains, Uzbekistan
Transfers and Interactions between North and South in Central Asia during the Bronze Age
International audience
Les relations de genre en Asie centrale protohistorique
L'étude des pratiques funéraires de la civilisation de l'Oxus, société sédentaire agro-pastorale et proto-étatique localisée en Asie centrale méridionale et datée de l'âge du Bronze (2400-1500 avant J.-C.), a permis de mettre en évidence une structuration sociale particulière en lien avec le genre. Les tombes des femmes contiendraient davantage de biens funéraires, ainsi que des objets en matériaux précieux. En outre, une distribution préférentie…
Tombes féminines et pratiques funéraires en Asie centrale protohistorique. Quelques réflexions sur le « statut social » des femmes dans la civilisation de l’Oxus
Even if the methods of sex estimation and the concept of wealth are not that reliable, it can be interesting to try a gender archaeological study for the Oxus Civilisation. The comparative analysis between female burials and male burials excavated in three major urban sites of Bronze Age in Central Asia (Sapallitepe, Dzharkutan, Gonur-depe 1) reveals a distinct differentiation between funeral practices connected to each sex. This leads us to thin…
