Book excerpt: "On the occasion of the Golden Deer exhibition, a number of scholars gathered at a symposium held at the Metropolitan Museum in October 2000, followed in the next few months by a series of invited lectures. The speakers offered regional perspectives covering the broad expanse of the steppe corridor. They presented exciting discoveries from recent archaeological excavations not only at Filippovka but also at Pokrovka in the Urals, Bel'sk in the Pontic steppes, Berel in the Altai region of Kazakhstan, Arzhan near Tuva in southern Siberia, and Xinjiang in western China. The contributors of the twenty essays in this collection have added significantly to our view of the steppe world. They have presented us not only with new data from archaeological excavations extending from the Caucasus to China but also with new avenues of interpretation, enriching our understanding of the spectacular golden deer of Eurasia"--From publisher's description.
