\nThe Late Nomads between Europe and Asia (11th<\/sup>\u201313th<\/sup> century)
\nThe project examines in a comparative perspective of the main written sources for the history of the nomadic tribes, which inhabited the western part of the Eurasian Steppe Belt in the dynamic period between 11th<\/sup> \u2013 14th<\/sup> century. During most of this time span the steppes on the border between Asia and Europe were dominated by the members of the Cuman-Q\u00efpchaq tribal community. After its political collapse in the mid-13th<\/sup> century, the Mongol Empire expanded over these territories. The project aims at exploring the sources for the history of the Eurasian nomads in Central Asia and Eastern Europe before and after the appearance of the Mongols. It is expected that in this way both the parallel and the divergent trajectories in the behavior of the nomadic groups in the Balkans and in the Bulgarian Tzardom will be highlighted. Thus, the patterns of behavior of the nomadic tribes in the peninsula will be examined in the context of sources that stem from completely different written cultures and civilizational background. This way our knowledge for the Eurasian nomads in South East Europe will be extended and new interpretations of their behavior will be offered.<\/p>\n
