Ancient and Early Medieval Kingdoms of the Pamir Region of Central Asia

Historical Shughnān and its Lost Capital

About this book

This focused study is one of the few analytical resources in English that covers the ancient and early medieval history of one of the least studied areas of the vast mountainous Pamir region of Central Asia: Shughn?n.

The book brings together scattered fragments of information from a wide range of early Greek, Chinese, Persian, and Arabic sources, the accounts of early European travellers and the scholarly contributions of Soviet and post-Soviet authors, as well as personal accounts and oral history material from the region. Drawing on historical, archaeological, linguistic, and ethnographic data, it provides a holistic overview of the kingdom of Shughn?n. It also attempts, for the first time, to identify and locate the town of K?hán, which the Chinese historical chronicle, the Táng Sh? (Book of the Tang Dynasty, 618–907 CE) describes as the 'first capital' of Shughn?n. Many archaeological sites are examined and offered as potential candidates for the location of the town of K?hán, providing a foundation for future archaeological and ethnolinguistic research in the area.

Ancient and Early Medieval Kingdoms of the Pamir Region of Central Asia: Historical Shughn?n and its Lost Capital is suitable for students, scholars, and historians studying ancient and early medieval Central Asia, particularly the Pamir region, as well as those interested in Central Asian history and archaeology more broadly.
