Intensive field surveys across the Murghab Delta in Southern Turkmenistan have detected pastoral campsites of Andronovo culture intruding the local Late Bronze Age settlement structure. Their distribution indicates convergence of economic specialization and political integration of cultural diversity. By using GIS as a tool for the systematic testing of alternative explanations and simulation models we may direct archaeological data to enhance historical interpretations for the formative stages of Central Asian civilisations.
