Bioarchaeological contributions to the reconstruction of past societies on the Mongolian Steppe
Occurrences of Persian glazeware in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia
Subsistence and survival along the medieval long-wall system of northern China and Mongolia
The medieval wall and trench system of China and Mongolia covers ∼4000 km and consists of a series of rammed-earth walls, ditches, and hundreds of associated structures. This was not a unified system but rather different sections that were built by different political entities and perhaps for different purposes between ca. 1000 to 1220 CE. Among those lines, the earliest is the northernmost section dated to the period of the Liao empire (916–1125…

Life along the medieval frontier
The Medieval Wall System (MWS), constructed in the tenth-thirteenth centuries AD across parts of Mongolia, China and Russia, was one of several long walls built along ancient frontiers in Asia. Despite a growing body of literature about this network of walls and trenches, many questions still surround its construction and function. Here, the authors present results of archaeological investigations on the Mongolian Arc of the MWS, revealing new co…
Examining Medieval Long-Wall frontier systems (11th – 12th centuries AD) through archaeological geophysics in the Eastern Mongolian Steppe Region
Geophysical survey of a Medieval wall system in northeastern Mongolia. • Exploring the structure and function of 11th century CE walled enclosures. • Integrating gradiometry and GPR in archaeological exploration. • Exposing the wooden poles construction of a Medieval gate structure. This paper presents the results of exploratory geophysical surveys and ground truthing of a cluster of earthen enclosures associated with a long-wall frontier system …
An elite grave of the pre-Mongol period, from Dornod Province, Mongolia
On the Mongolian plateau, the period between the collapse of the Kitan Empire (c. 1125 CE) and the rise of the Mongol empire (1206 CE) is still poorly understood. Although events leading up to the rise of Chinggis Khan's initial Mongol state are recorded in a number of historical sources, these accounts often look backwards over decades or even centuries from the perspective of a mature empire already made. Archaeology provides one path towards a…
Unraveling the Mongolian Arc
This paper explores, for the first time, a 405 km long wall system located in eastern Mongolia: the "Mongolian Arc" consists of an earthen wall, a trench, and 34 structures. It is part of a much larger system of walls built between the 11th and 13th centuries a.d. The Mongolian Arc, despite its magnitude, has been largely overlooked in existing academic discourse. Our team collected remote sensing data of different types and conducted an archaeol…
What's in a Hearth
Today’s image of people inhabiting the vast steppe landscapes of Mongolia is inseparably linked to mobile animal herding. Indeed, archaeologists have confirmed that human-animal communities comprised of human herders and domestic livestock roamed across Mongolia’s grassland environment and utilized semiarid to arid regions such as the Gobi steppe desert for thousands of years. However, it is much rarer to catch a glimpse of the time before the ad…

Carnelian beads in Mongolia
The earliest herders of East Asia
A dual technological tradition and its implications as observed in an iron assemblage from a medieval site in eastern Mongolia
Does extra-large equal extra-ordinary? The ‘Wall of Chinggis Khan’ from a multidimensional perspective
This paper focuses on a hitherto little-known long (or “Great”) wall that stretches along 737 km from northern Inner Mongolia in China, through Siberia into northeastern Mongolia. The wall was constructed during the late medieval period (10th to 13th century CE) but is commonly called the “Wall of Chinggis Khan” (or ‘Chingisiin Dalan’ in Mongolian). It includes, in addition to the long-wall itself, a ditch feature and numerous associated fortific…
Technologies and complexities as reflected in small cast iron fragments recovered from medieval sites in eastern Mongolia
Medieval long-wall construction on the Mongolian Steppe during the eleventh to thirteenth centuries AD
The long walls of China and the Eurasian Steppe are considered to have functioned as either defensive structures against aggressive nomadic tribes, or as elements to control the movement of local nomadic groups following imperialist expansion. This article focuses on a hitherto understudied 737km-long medieval wall running from northern China into north-eastern Mongolia. Built by either the Liao or Jin Dynasties, the wall features numerous auxili…
U5a1 Mitochondrial DNA Haplotype Identified in Eneolithic Skeleton from Shatar Chuluu, Mongolia
The mitochondrial haplotype U5a1 was identified from an Eneolithic grave associated with the Afanasievo archaeological culture in Bayankhongor Province, Erdenetsogt Township, at the site of Shatar Chuluu. This is the earliest appearance of an mtDNA haplotype associated with modern European populations on the Mongol Steppe. This evidence demonstrations that people with "western" mtDNA lived on the Mongol Steppe east of the Altai Mountains before t…

Ancient bronze technology and nomadic communities of the Middle Gobi Desert, Mongolia
Re-writing Monumental Landscapes as Inner Asian Political Process
The potential for monumental structures to convert, transform, and communicate has been explored extensively in the archaeological literature (Trigger 1990; Sherratt 1990; Bradley 1998) and, most recently, with regard to social memory and its potential for re-invention through monumental re-use (Williams 2003; Van Dyke and Alcock 2003). The reuse of monumental sites in the eastern steppe region of Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, southern Siberia, Xinji…
The Xiongnu settlements of Egiin Gol, Mongolia
The Xiongnu people have long been considered an archetypical nomadic group, characterised archaeologically mainly from their tombs - which have reinforced the stereotype. Thanks to a sophisticated survey project, the authors are able to reveal the Xiongnu's economic complexity. Although primarily pastorialists they practiced cultivation and their ceramics reveal a settlement hierarchy which chimes with the broader social and settlement system of …
A technological transition in Mongolia evident in microstructure, chemical composition and radiocarbon age of cast iron artifacts

A Nested Approach to Survey in the Egiin Gol Valley, Mongolia
Defining an appropriate and adequate survey area is usually the first and most difficult step in survey research design. This paper presents an example from the Egiin Gol Survey project in which current models for nomadic polity development were evaluated against spatial data collected from a valley in north central Mongolia. The survey presented methodological challenges since no prior systematic survey had been conducted in Mongolia and the mob…
