This paper describes the current status of Sogdians research using archaeological epitaphic materials including the recently found stone inscriptions in China, and purpose research methods for such a study. First the excavated state of the new epigraphic materials is reported, and the current status of their classification with updated publications is also reported. Secondly, among the epigraphic materials investigated by the author, a survey report of the materials related to 翟曹明 (Zhai Caoming) is available. Thirdly, the four recently found historically important materials on the Sogdian study such as the 安備 (An Bei) epitaph, the stone inscription on the 史盤陀 (Shi Pantuo) rock, the 鄭岩 (Zheng Yan) epitaph,and 景教 (Jingjiao; Nestrian) stela text found at 洛陽 (Luoyang) have been evaluated and archaeologically assessed. Finally, future studies on the Sogdians are reviewed with comments and suggestions.
