International Conference on Xiongnu Archaeology

Conference
Xiongnu Conference
This international conference brought together all scholars, from Asia to America, actively researching in the field of Xiongnu archaeology in order to discuss research questions in a focused group of both specialists and related scholars October 16-18, 2008. This event was structured around the exchange of ideas and constructive discussion, and the format was different from most conferences in Mongolia. Brief lectures of 20 minutes were organized into thematic sessions, and each session was closed with discussant commentary and open discussion. The overall aim was to foster new ideas and approaches for the research which was presented by specialists in the field.

The conference was organized by Dr. Ursula Brosseder (Bonn University, Germany) and Bryan K. Miller, PhD Candidate (University of Pennsylvania, USA). The event was sponsored by the Silkroad Foundation in cooperation with University of Bonn, University of Pennsylvania, Institute of Archaeology, Mongolia, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, National Museum of Mongolia, and American Center for Mongolian Studies.
