Caspian Tigers and Loptuq Activity Contexts in Eastern Turkestan
Until a hundred years ago, Caspian tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) shared habitat with the Loptuq people who lived along the Tarim River, and lake Lop Nur in Eastern Turkestan. Although their paths crossed, humans and tigers avoided each other and did not compete for resources; only occasionally did a tiger kill cattle and horses or humans kill a tiger. The tigers fed mainly on wild boar (Sus scrofa nigripes) while the Loptuq, for religious reaso…
Making the most of scarce biological resources in the desert
Background Most fisher-gatherer communities we know of utilized a limited number of natural resources for their livelihood.

The shrine's current status is unclear, but here we describe the pilgrimage as it was just before 2017. That was the year th…

Islam is a contributing factor in Uyghur identity and is manifested in daily life by a number of regulations on food, observation of religious holidays and life cycle celebrations. The point of departure here is to try to describe the ziyara as an integral part of Muslim life in the region. The mazarserves as an important reference…
