From The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979): "Bernshtam studied Semirech’e, Tian’-Shan’, Pamiro-Alai, and Fergana and developed the periodization of the archaeological monuments of Middle Asia from the second millennium B.C. to the 15th century. Bernshtam’s work sheds light on the ethnogenesis, social structure, and economy of the ancient nomadic peoples of Middle Asia, as well as the history of their culture, art, epigraphy, and numismatics."
