Jisl L. The Orkhon Türks and Problems of the Archaeology of the Second Eastern Türk Kaghanate

Prague: National Museum of Czech, 1997. — 160 p. — (Annals of the Náprstek Museum 18).More than thirty years have passed since the outstanding Czech archeologist Lumir Jisl (1921 - 1969) wrote a four-part monograph about the ancient Türks. So far only partial results have appeared in print. The core of the monograph, its second part, is devoted to the findings of the archeological research of the first Czechoslovak-Mongolian Archeological Expedition in 1958, and they are given in confrontation with historic reports in Chinese sources. Jisl’s work holds a firm place in getting to know the life and the culture of the ancient Türks.
