Michael D. Frachetti combines an analysis of newly documented archaeological sites in the Koksu River valley of eastern Kazakhstan with detailed paleoecological and ethnohistorical data to illustrate patterns in land use, settlement, burial, and rock art. His investigation illuminates the practical effect of nomadic strategies on the broader geography of social interaction and suggests a new model of local and regional interconnection in the third and second millennia B.C.E. Frachetti further argues that these early nomadic communities played a pivotal role in shaping enduring networks of exchange across Eurasia. 606 $aBronze age$zEurasia 606 $aPastoral systems, Prehistoric$zEurasia 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zEurasia 606 $aAntiquities, Prehistoric$zEurasia 607 $aEurasia$xAntiquities 610 $aancient near east. 610 $aarchaeologists. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $abefore common era. 610 $abronze age art. 610 $abronze age. 610 $aburial. 610 $acave paintings. 610 $aearly humans. 610 $aethnohistorical data. 610 $aeurasia. 610 $aeurasian steppe. 610 $aformative periods. 610 $ahuman history. 610 $ahuman settlements. 610 $ainnovations. 610 $akazakhstan. 610 $akoksu river valley. 610 $aland use. 610 $alandscapes. 610 $anetworks. 610 $anomadic communities. 610 $anomads. 610 $apaleoecological data. 610 $aprehistory. 610 $aregional connections. 610 $arock art. 610 $asocial interaction. 610 $atrade routes. 610 $aworld art. 615 0$aBronze age 615 0$aPastoral systems, Prehistoric 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aAntiquities, Prehistoric 676 $a950.1 700 $aFrachetti$b Michael D$01651348 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822640603321 996 $aPastoralist landscapes and social interaction in bronze age Eurasia$94001240 997 $aUNINA
