Their impact on landscape, their allurement as well as their symbolic reference to a glorious past can still be felt today. The need of supra-regional and cross-disciplinary examination of this unique phenomenon led to an international conference in Istanbul in 2009. With almost 50 scholars from 12 different countries participating, the conference entitled TumulIstanbul created links between fields of research which would not have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. The proceedings of TumulIstanbul revolve around the question of the symbolic significance of burial mounds in the 1st millennium BC in the Eastern Mediterranean and Black-Sea regions, providing further insight into Kurgan neighbours from Eurasia Notes Collection of papers from the TumulIstanbul international conference held in Istanbul during 2009 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English, with 2 papers in German and 1 in French; abstracts in English Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Mounds -- Middle East -- Congresses Mounds -- Black Sea Region -- Congresses HISTORY -- Ancient -- General.
