Abstract: Korea and the Silk Road

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

Please spread the word, and if you happens to be in Portland area,
  please drop by.

  Best,
