In addition to field work, we will also carry out academic exchanges, personnel training and other projects." Shi Jiazhen, Director of the Luoyang City Cultural Heritage and Archaeology Research Institute, revealed on the 9th. Professor Isamidinov Mohamed of Fergana State University recently attended an archaeological salon in Luoyang, saying that Luoyang has had close contact with the Fergana V alley since ancient times. During the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang was inhabited by a large number of Sogdians. It was really significant to establish a cooperative relationship now. Prior to this, the Luoyang C ity Cultural Heritage and Archaeology Research Institute had carried out a series of overseas archaeological work, including the search for Hun Court in Mongolia and the study of Yuezhi people’ s history in Tajikistan. The cooperation with Fergana State University was expected to promote a clearer understanding of Tayuen. |
