Ukek: the Golden Horde City and Its Periphery (British Archaeological Reports British Series) L. F. Nedashkovsky

In the 18th century, large parts of Eurasia became part of the Mongol Empire; it is the north-western region, known as the Golden Horde, which forms the focus of this study. Although no work has been carried out at the city of Ukek, lying in the Golden Horde, for more than eighty years there is much unpublished data from the site and its agrarian periphery. This volume presents and examines written, numismatic and material cultural evidence as well as data on sites and settlements, cemeteries and hoards. Although this is not the easiest report to read and understand, it includes a good deal of unpublished material from an area that has not been widely studied.
