In this issue
See how the status-conscious Maya used clothes, jewelry, and body modification to communicate their position in society, be they king, queen, ballplayer, or captive. Journey to faraway Tajikistan where, from the fifth to the eighth century A.D., a forgotten people known as the Sogdians were the merchant princes of Central Asia. Travel with us back to the early middle ages and to Constantinople and explore the newest discoveries in Hagia Sophia, Byzantium’s greatest cathedral. And read about how, even after more than 75 years, the full impact of D-Day on the French landscape is still being unearthed. In these stories—and so many more—this issue of ARCHAEOLOGY brings the past to life.
