Ursula Brosseder’s work explores dynamics of interaction in the late Iron Age Eurasian steppes during the emergence of the “silk roads” and confronts theories of the Xiongnu as progenitors of the European Huns. She seeks to supersede notions of merchant trade and mass migrations by reframing contacts within sociopolitical and economic networks.
