Vadim N. Yagodin was Professor of Archaeology in the Research Institute of the Humanities of Karakalpak branch of Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. He conducted extensive field research on the Ustyurt plateau, investigating nomadic cemeteries, hunting traps and sanctuaries. W. Paul van Pelt is Research Fellow at Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge. He studies the interplay between technology and culture. Alison Betts is Professor of Silk Road Studies at the University of Sydney. She specialises in the archaeology of the lands along the Silk Roads, and the nomadic peoples of Eurasia.

"Yagodin has succeeded in creating a holistic picture out of many fragments and gaps by counting on archaeological surveys as well as historical and ethnological records and has discussed ecological and economical aspects. Much more than a catalogue of the arrow-shaped structures, this is a book on the importance of hunting in the Medieval Ustyurt. The result is impressive and indeed, as the editors affirmed in their introduction, a classic and important study."
