Rock Art and Early Cultural Dynamics in Eastern Mongolia
Despite playing a key role in the history and prehistory of human societies in eastern Eurasia, the archaeological record of eastern Mongolia—particularly its rich tradition of rock art and petroglyphs—has been poorly integrated into western archaeological literature. We summarize a large body of recent scholarship from Mongolia’s three eastern provinces, Khentii, Sukhbaatar, and Dornod, to identify evidence of cultural activity in the region str…
Strontium isotope analysis of the Xiongnu nobles and their followers in Central Mongolia

Diet of the Chanyu and his people
This study was designed to study the effect of social stratification on human diet in the Xiongnu society. Human remains unearthed from three different sites in western and northern Mongolia were analyzed for stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values. The results demonstrate that a certain amount of C4 component was consumed by people of different social levels. The three noble individuals from terrace tombs at the Gol Mod 2 site ate a similar di…

The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
Understanding early horse transport in eastern Eurasia through analysis of equine dentition
Across Eurasia, horse transport transformed ancient societies. Although evidence for chariotry is well dated, the origins of horse riding are less clear. Techniques to distinguish chariotry from riding in archaeological samples rely on elements not typically recovered from many steppe contexts. Here, the authors examine horse remains of Mongolia's Deer Stone-Khirigsuur (DSK) Complex, comparing them with ancient and modern East Asian horses used f…
Stories behind the fortress
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of 15 individuals buried closed to Bayanbulag site or the Shouxiangcheng fortress in southern Mongolia revealed complex dietary features. Only one individual had a diet similar to that of the pastoral population in northern China, while the others, who had varying carbon isotope values and low nitrogen values, might have been from different agricultural areas. 14 C dating results suggest that the earlie…
