My name is Melinda Niekum, and I am a new list member of the Ferghana
Valley discussion list. I am currently an M.A. candidate in cultural
anthropology at California State University, Fullerton, with a
specialization in the archaeological research on ancient oasis cultures
of southern Central Asia. This coming June I will be conducting research
in Uzbekistan as part of a CSUF Department Associations Council-funded
project to develop a curriculum program on the archaeology of ancient
Central Asia, and to investigate possible fieldwork opportunities for
CSUF archaeology students in the Bukhara region of Uzbekistan. I
greatly welcome the opportunity to participate in the Ferghana Valley
discussion list because the cultural history of this region is critical
to an understanding of both the ancient and modern oasis cultures of
southern Central Asia as a coherent unit, as comparatively little
information on it has been available to anthropology students at our
institution so far.
Good luck on a wonderful discussion list!
