Researchers discovered that roughly one-third of the tin found aboard the Uluburun shipwreck (found present-day Türkiye) was produced and supplied by small communities of highland pastoralists living in present-day Uzbekistan in Central Asia. source.wustl.edu/2022/11/findin…

@ticiaverveer Thanks for the signal boost! 🙏🏼
