Main Focus

The Silk Roads were an interconnected web of routes linking trade centres from China to the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond. The Tarim Basin in western China, as one of the critical position on the Silk Roads, is an ideal place to trace human migration and cultural communications between the East and the West. My research is to use multi-isotopes in archaeological skeletons of the Tarim Basin to investigate human migration and cultural exchange across the Tarim Basin from the Bronze Age to historical period.
