Their commerce included political, social, and artistic ideas, as well as material goods such as metals and textiles. \u003ci\u003eReconfiguring the Silk Road\u003c\/i\u003e offers new research on the earliest trade and cultural interactions along these routes, mapping the spread and influence of Silk Road economies and social structures over time. This volume features contributions by renowned scholars uncovering new discoveries related to populations that lived in the Tarim Basin, the advanced state of textile manufacturing in the region, and the diffusion of domesticated grains across Inner Asia. Other chapters include an analysis of the dispersal of languages across the Eurasian Steppe and a detailed examination of the domestication of the horse in the region. Contextualized with a foreword by Colin Renfrew and introduction by Victor Mair, \u003ci\u003eReconfiguring the Silk Road\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new assessment of the intercultural evolution along the steppes and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e David W.
