Dear all,

Dr. Anna Collar of the Ancient India and Iran Trust at Cambridge has  written about her recent overland trip which took her to many of major archaeological sites in Eastern Europe/Near East/Central Asia as part  of the 2010 Mongol Rally.  The writeup, on the website of the journal Antiquity, includes bits on Persepolis and Merv.
