LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS

Le Journal of Inner Asian Art and Archaeology est une nouvelle revue lancée par le Circle of Inner Asian Art, remplaçant la Newsletter (parutions 1 à 20, 1995-2005), qui était devenue un forum de discussion et de publication important pour les projets de recherche et de travail de terrain sur l’art et l’archéologie de la Haute-Asie. Fait unique, la revue couvre les vastes régions côtoyant les anciennes routes de la soie, du monde iranien à la Chine occidentale et des steppes russes à l’Inde du nord-ouest. Le centre d’intérêt principal de la revue sera la période pré-islamique dans l’art et l’archéologie de la Haute-Asie. Des articles scientifiques connexes sur les langues et l’histoire seront également publiés.
