Nizhnevolzhskiy Arkheologicheskiy Vestnik

Aims & Scope

The Lower Volga Archaeological Bulletin provides overviews and up-to-date information on all aspects of historical science by publishing the latest achievements in the theory and practice of archaeology of the Eurasian steppes and adjacent territories.

In ancient and medieval times, the Eurasian steppes were a vast contact zone connecting the centers of Eastern and Western civilizations, the forest-steppe area, the territories of Western and Central Asia, and the Middle East.

Ancient and medieval populations of the Eurasian steppe belt were characterized by high mobility and numerous cross-cultural contacts.

That is why events taking place in one part of Eurasia often caused changes in others.

Migration processes in the Eurasian steppes played a significant role in generating cultural formations not only in thesteppe biome, but also in adjacent sedentary agricultural territories.

Covering a wide range of subjects, the Journal uses a complex approach to study ethno-historical, evolutionary and migration processes in the vast areas of the steppe zone and adjacent territories in ancient and medieval times.
