In the past this entity was simply defined as Khorasan. In the Sassanid era Khorasan defined the "Eastern lands". In the Islamic era this term was again taken up in the same sense it previously enjoyed. The Arab sources of the first centuries all mention the eastern regions under the same toponym, Khorasan. Khorasan was the gateway used by Alexander the Great to go into Bactria and India and, inversely, that through which the Seljuks and Mongols entered Iran. In a diachronic context Khorasan was a transit zone, a passage, a crossroads, which, above all in the medieval period, saw the creation of different commercial routes leading to the north, towards India, to the west and into China. In this framework, archaeological researches will be the guiding principle which will help us to take stock of a material culture which, as its history, is very diversified. They also offer valuable elements on commercial links between the principal towns of Khorasan. This book will provide the opportunity to better know the most recent elements of the principal constitutive sites of this geographical and political entity.Studies in the history and culture of the Middle East ;v. 29.Middle AgesPhilosophical anthropologyHISTORY / Middle East / IranbisacshKhurāsān (Iran)HistoryAfghanistan.Iran.Turkmenistan.excavations.Middle Ages.Philosophical anthropology.HISTORY / Middle East / Iran.955/.9Rante RoccoMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825623003321Greater Khorasan2399916UNINA
