Medieval Yeghegis: Local Multiplicities, and Global Connections of a Rural Center on the Silk Road(s)

The publication Medieval Yeghegis, Armenia: History, Archaeology, Society: Local Multiplicities and Global Connections of a Rural Center on the Silk Road(s), edited by Dr. Zaroui Poghossian & Dr. Michele Nucciotti, focuses on the small rural settlement of Yeghegis in the Vayots‘ Dzor region of the Republic of Armenia, which is examined as an active node within the Silk Road(s). Through an interdisciplinary approach, the book integrates history, archaeology, architecture, and epigraphy, highlighting innovative methodologies such as Light Archaeology. The contributions explore local dynamics and their Eurasian connections between the ninth and fourteenth centuries. Yeghegis thus emerges as a key case study for understanding landscape, power, and mobility.
