A wide range of individual cultures are \"visited\" and their historic, cultural, and geographic specifics are explored. The survey in this book is based on a chronological structure, including an East-West geographic direction. This accommodates to position described artefacts of certain styles within time periods, cultures, and locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of the existing literature related to cultures of the Eurasian steppe is specialised on one particular culture or one archaeological excavation. The book is written as a hypothetical journey through time and space, structured in an east to west direction. It provides a wide-reaching overview by placing the discussed artefacts into a cultural, geographic, and chronologic frame, particularly the thousand years between 500 BC and 500 AD. Artistic expression and style are a central theme to explore possible relationships between civilisations of the Eurasian steppe and their influence on medieval Central and Northern European creation of artefacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcademics in the fields of art history, archaeology, history, and fine arts will find this book compelling\/useful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56191845892440,"sku":"9781032739342","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032739342.jpg?v=1770534026","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/art-of-the-eurasian-steppe","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
