Open access to our collaborative paper, just out in Science Adv. “Tin from Uluburun shipwreck shows small-scale commodity exchange fueled continental tin supply across Late Bronze Age Eurasia” science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Researchers discovered that roughly one-third of the tin found aboard the Uluburun shipwreck (found present-day Türkiye) was produced and supplied by small communities of highland pastoralists living in present-day Uzbekistan in Central Asia. source.wustl.edu/2022/11/findin…

Long-forgotten settlements in Pamir mountains described as ‘extraordinarily rare’ owing to their high altitude and remoteness. For ⁦The Telegraph⁩, thanks to ⁦Peter Frankopan⁩ for context. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Drone-mounted LiDAR has revealed the extent of two lost cities in the mountains of Uzbekistan. The finding of these cities, reported in nature, may mean that highland areas may have played a more important role in medieval trade than previously thought. go.nature.com/3NzIAIV
