Al di là dei confini degli Imperi Iranici e oltre …..,

The author in this article in a volume edited by himself and the colleague M.V. Fontana, devoted originally to the 75° birthday of Prof. U. Scerrato and later to his memory, is dealing with his archaeological activities beyond the frontiers of the Iranian Empires. In particular he is emphasizing the work made during the late 80s of the last Century in southern Turkmenistan and the first trial-trenches there conducted in 2001 and 2002 on a small tepe of the Yaz III horizon, and strategically located in a very crucial point of the Merv oasis. Furthermore the author is also giving a short note on the topographical work on the Bukhara oasis, conducted in 2000 and 2001 in collaboration with the Università degli Studi di Roma, La Sapienza, starting from the northern site of Vardanzeh to Bukhara and Pajkent.
