Dr. Sören Stark

Sören Stark studied Oriental Archaeology and Art History, Ancient History and (European) Art History at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. From 2000 to 2004 he was an Associated member of the SFB with a study on nomadic-sedentary interactions during the Türk period in Central and Inner Asia (which was published in the series "Nomaden und Sesshafte" as "Die Alttürkenzeit in Mittel- und Zentralasien. Archaeologische und historische Studien", Wiesbaden: Ludwig-Reichert-Verlag, 2008).

From 2004 to 2008 he was a research associate at the SFB with the project D6 "High Mountain and Piedmont zones in Central Asia as areas of interaction between nomadic and sedentary populations". The focus of this project was archaeological field work conducted in Northern Tadjikistan (see http://www.orientarch.uni-halle.de/sfb586/c5/ and list of publications).

From 2008 to 2010 Sören Stark was Junior Fellow at the Excellence Cluster TOPOI and teaching at the Freie Universität in Berlin. Since 2010 he is Assistant Professor for Central Asian Art and Archaeology at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (New York University).

His main research focus lies on the political and cultural interrelations between pastoral nomads in Central and Inner Asia and their sedentary neighbors. Currently, he is preparing a book on territorial fortifications in Western Central Asia and conducting related fieldwork in Uzbekistan. He is also co-editor of a Handbook of Central Asian Archaeology and Art which is presently under preparation at Oxford University Press.
