DTSTART:20160329T220000Z
DTEND:20160329T231500Z
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, the first in a series of four Rostovtzeff L
 ectures during spring 2016\, introduces the Silk Roads through a case 
 study of Sogdians living as a minority at the Chinese oasis city of Tu
 rfan in the six and seventh centuries. The Sogdians were early inhabit
 ants of modern Uzbekistan and Tajikistan who spoke an Iranian dialect\
 , and began to migrate eastward by the fourth century CE to settle in 
 cities and towns on the Silk Roads. The lecture will update Skaff’s 
 previous publications on Sogdian farmers and merchants at Turfan by co
 nsidering recently-discovered paper documents and epitaphs.
