Brosseder, Ursula Birgit

Field of Study: Eurasian Archaeology

Research Description: Ursula Brosseder explores dynamics of interaction in the Late Iron Age Eurasian Steppes during the emergence of the “Silk Roads”. She seeks to supersede notions of merchant trade and mass migrations by reframing contacts within sociopolitical and economic networks. Her work confronts theories of the Xiongnu as progenitors of the European Huns.
