The Archaeology of Mongolia and Nomadic Civilizations
This proposal requests support for the writing of a monograph on the archaeology of early Inner Asian nomadic states. The sources of information include recent archaeological data from northern Mongolia and historical sources from China, Monglia, and Siberia. The project argues for a new framework in which to understand the political tradition of nomadic polities based upon long-term expertise in mobility, long distance relationships, and spatial networks.
