Abstract: Korea and the Silk Road<BR>
<BR>
The Korean peninsula was almost the Asian end of the “Silk Road”, <BR>
nevertheless exotic objects from the Mediterranean world are found in <BR>
Korean burials beginning in the first century B.C. In studying how <BR>
these objects came to be deposited in Korean burials, it becomes clear <BR>
that objects arrived in Korea by at least three different routes. The <BR>
Steppe Route north of the Altai Mountains, the Silk Road through <BR>
Xinjinag, and a Sea Route are discussed, along with the objects that <BR>
arrived in Korea from as far away as the Mediterranean world.<BR>
<BR>
Please spread the word, and if you happens to be in Portland area,<BR>
please drop by.<BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>
<BR>
