Further Explorations Along the Silk Road

Dear Colleagues,

The Silk Road provides a unifying focus for a broad and eclectic set of possible subjects tied to the evolving establishment of the great ancient trade route/s over more than a millennium. While much has been discovered and written (especially since the late nineteenth century) about the origins and development of this trans-Eurasian conduit of ideas, cultures, and materials, much more certainly remains to be discovered and written, as well. In this Special Issue, we hope to contribute to the expanding field of knowledge surrounding the Silk Road, involving new and intriguing insights in a host of areas, from art and architecture to economics and politics, from the contributions of nomads to the rich and potent forces of empires, from methods of navigation and emergent technologies to the motivating forces of religions. The lore and allure, the synthesizing and cross-pollinating power of the Silk Road will be represented in this diverse yet cohesive volume.
