Kawasan Arkeologis Baktria–Margiana

Kawasan Baktria-Margiana (BMAC), diarsir warna merah, menurut *Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture*.

Kawasan Arkeologis Baktria–Margiana (atau hanya disingkat Baktria–Margiana), juga dikenal sebagai Peradaban Oxus,^[1]^[2] adalah sebutan arkeologi modern untuk peradaban Zaman Perunggu di Asia Tengah yang pernah berlangsung sekitar pada tahun 2250–1700 SM, atau diperkirakan pada tahun 2400–1900 SM oleh Sandro Salvatori,^[1] dalam fase perkotaan atau Era Integrasi.^[3]

Meskipun dikenal juga sebagai Peradaban Oxus yang terletak di hulu Amu Darya (Sungai Oxus) in Baktria, sebagian besar situs perkotaan peradaban Baktria–Margiana tidak terletak di sana, tetapi di Margiana (Turkmenistan) di delta Sungai Murghab, dan di Kopet Dagh. Ada juga beberapa situs (kebanyakan kuburan) di Uzbekistan selatan (Baktria utara) tetapi justru merujuk ke Kebudayaan Sapalli (kira-kira 2000-1500 SM).^[4] Di Afghanistan utara (Baktria selatan), hanya ada situs Dashly, tetapi situs lebih jauh ke timur, di Tajikistan barat daya, meskipun terkait dengan situs Margiana utama, peninggalan itu hanya kuburan tanpa sisa perkotaan yang terkait dengannya.^[5]

Situs Baktria-Margiana ditemukan dan diberi nama oleh arkeolog asal Uni Soviet bernama Viktor Sarianidi (1976). Baktria adalah nama Yunani untuk wilayah Baktra (Balkh modern), di tempat yang sekarang menjadi Afghanistan utara, dan Margiana adalah nama Yunani untuk kegubernuran Persia Kuno yang merujuk ke Marguš, ibu kotanya adalah Merv, di Turkmenistan tenggara modern.

Penggalian Sarianidi dari akhir 1970-an dan seterusnya mengungkapkan banyak struktur monumen di banyak situs, dibentengi oleh tembok dan gerbang yang mengesankan. Sebagian besar laporan Baktria-Margiana terbatas pada jurnal Soviet yang berbahasa Rusia.^[6] Seorang wartawan dari The New York Times menulis pada tahun 2001 bahwa dia berpikir bahwa selama tahun-tahun Uni Soviet, temuan tersebut sebagian besar tidak diketahui oleh Dunia Barat sampai karya Sarianidi mulai diterjemahkan pada 1990-an.[^[7] Namun, beberapa terbitan oleh penulis Soviet, seperti Masson, Sarianidi, Atagarryev, dan Berdiev, telah tersedia di dalam bahasa-bahasa Dunia Barat setidaknya sejak tahun 1970-an.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]
