Studies in Silk Road Archaeology, 1st Edition, brings together Nai Xia's quintessential research on Silk Road history and material culture, published by Springer. The volume investigates early interactions linking China, Central Asia, Western Asia, and Europe through the analysis of archaeological finds.
Central to the work are investigations of foreign coinage, silk textiles, and foreign-style artifacts excavated across China. These studies illustrate the cultural and economic relationships connecting ancient China with Pre-Islamic Arabia, the Sasanian Empire, and the Byzantine Empire along both overland and maritime routes.
Demonstrating that Silk Road cultural exchange was reciprocal rather than unilateral, this 350-page collection provides meticulous material and textual analysis intended for academics, scholars, and researchers.
