Objectives:
To further understand the detailed history of prehistoric trans-Eurasian exchanges, agriculture origin, the diffusion of early farming-herding groups, and their effects on human societies and human-environment interaction in Eurasia during Neolithic-Bronze Age.
Scientific Issues:
(1) Silk Road (oasis): the Process, dynamics and impact of exchanges between China, Central Asia and West Asia in Holocene;
(2) Eurasian Steppe: agro-pastoral development in the Eurasian steppe and its interaction with climate-environmental change;
(3) Interactions between Steppe and Silk Road: interactions between societies of the Eurasian steppe and Silk Road and its impact on human-environment interaction in Holocene.
