Beschreibung:
Katheryn M. Linduff is a Professor in the Departments of Art History and Anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh. She has engaged in art historical research and collaborative archaeological fieldwork, focusing on the prehistory, and Bronze and Iron Ages of the Inner Asian Frontier for many years. She has published extensively on metallurgy, gender, China and Eurasia, the archaeology of the Inner Asian Frontier, and on artifacts. Recently, she has published an edited volume with Bryan Hanks for Cambridge (2009) that focuses on issues of social complexity in the Late Prehistoric Period of the Eurasian Steppe and several articles on the transmission of metallurgical knowledge and artifacts across the frontiers to the north and west of the early Chinese Empires.
This volume looks at the effects of interaction and the nature of identity construction in a frontier or contact zone through the analysis of material culture, especially in mortuary settings.
