Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans: Iranian-Speaking Nomads of the Eurasian Steppes

Autonomous University of Barcelona, 7-11 May 2007

We are pleased to announce the upcoming International Conference
"Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans - Iranian-Speaking Nomads of the
Eurasian Steppes", which will be held at the Autonomous University of
Barcelona from Monday 7th to Friday 11th May 2007, in close
collaboration with the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology RAN
(Moscow). The main objectives of this conference are [1] to act as a
forum for discussion and to promote scholarly exchange between Eastern
and Western academics dealing with this subject, and [2] to bring
together leading authorities in the field, in order to provide a
state-of-the-art overview of the archaeology, art, history, language
and culture of the Iranian nomads of the Eurasian steppes, to be
published as proceedings in both English and Russian. However, so as
to facilitate scientific exchange, participants are strongly
encouraged to submit their papers in English (or, eventually, French).
Applicants should initially register their interest in attending the
conference by filling in the application (click on "Paper Submission
