Erdélyi István: Archaeological Expeditions in Mongolia

Series: Mundus Library of Oriental Studies.

The volume presents the results of the excavations of the joint Mongolian-Hungarian expeditions: among others the relics of the Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age, the stag steles and the tombs of the Asian Hun (Hiung-nu) people from the 1st-2nd centuries A.D. Besides the scientific description of the finds, it also gives the details of their historical-archaeological background, on the basis of the data in the earlier literature, including foreign parallels. He also reflects on the theory of the Turcs in a distant connection with the Khazar and Avar archaeological relics.
