Boris Ilich Marshak ((ロシア語:Бори́с Ильи́ч Марша́к)) (July 9, 1933 – 28 July 2006) was an archeologist who spent more than fifty years excavating the Sogdian ruins at Panjakent, Tajikistan. ==Biography== Boris Ilich Marshak was born in Luga, Leningrad Oblast, Russian SFSR July 9, 1933. He received a MA in archaeology from Moscow University in 1956, his PhD in archaeology from the Institute of Archaeology, Leningrad in 1965 and a doctorate of historical sciences from Moscow University in 1982. Marshak began his work at the Sogdian ruins, which date from the 5th-8th century, at Panjakent in 1954. He became director of the archaeological expedition in 1978, a position he held until his death. Marshak was a leading authority on the history of Panjakent, the archaeology and art history of Central Asia, and medieval eastern silverware.〔 In 1979 he became head of the Department of Central Asia and Caucasus at the Hermitage, in Leningrad.〔"In Memorium- Boris Il'Ich Marshak, 9 July 1933 - 28 July 2006." Central-Eurasia-L@fas.harvard.edu. 13 Oct. 2006. 14 Oct. 2006 After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 Marshak’s job became significantly more difficult. Funding for fieldwork dried up and he instantly became a foreigner in the new state of Tajikistan at a time when ethnic Russians were fleeing Central Asia in mass. Marshak stayed on as director of the excavation of the Panjakent ruins, even during the years of civil war in Tajikistan from 1992–1997, while other archeological sites in the former Soviet Union were plundered by looters. Through close cooperation with the government of Tajikistan Marshak insured protection and continued excavation of the Panjakent ruins. In the 1990s and first decade of the 21st century Marshak received numerous honorariums from international organizations and taught, lectured and conducted fellowships in Italy, the United States, Austria and elsewhere.〔 Marshak died 28 July 2006 on the site of the Panjakent ruins. He was buried at the site, as requested in his will.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boris Marshak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
