Jan,
Some of this stuff is really getting expensive! Actually, I found Jeong Su-il's quote on Google Books. (Interesting character, a spy for North Korea, jailed for 11 years... where he wrote the Silk Road Cyclopedia.) I've just ordered two books relevant to the subject, one by Nicola De Cosmo, and another one by So and Bunker. I would love to get Elena Kuzmina's Origins of the Indo-Europeans, but the book costs hundreds of USDs. The connections between the Suiyuan culture, Anyang, the Karasuk culture are amazing when you consider the vast mileage between them. Then again, this reinforces my premise that the Yuezhi nobles were buried in the Altai and a long way from Han China's borders and a piddling strip along the Gansu.
