What’s in this database? The bibliography is a curated, growing collection of publications relevant to Central Asian archaeological landscapes. It is maintained by the CAAL project and built from the project’s multilingual Zotero group library, together with contributions from partner archives and collaborators.

Provenance and stewardship. Records originate in the CAAL Zotero library through researcher curation, cooperative sharing, and translation work. Where possible, we include identifiers (DOIs, stable URLs), original titles and translated titles, and notes about source repositories to support traceability and long-term stewardship.

FAIR/CARE alignment. We aim to make bibliographic data Findable (clear titles, identifiers, tags), Accessible (open browsing, RSS), Interoperable (Zotero JSON/RIS/BIB where feasible), and Reusable (consistent fields, documented context). In parallel, we consider CARE by respecting community context, acknowledging sources and partnerships, and encouraging culturally aware descriptions and multilingual metadata.

How results are shown. Items appear in a searchable table with key fields (title, authors, year, container, identifiers). Sorting and filtering are designed to surface the most useful entries quickly.

Languages. The project is inherently multilingual. Where available, entries include original language titles alongside English (or other) translations. We welcome multilingual submissions to broaden reach and representation.
