Through a settlement pattern study, the project aims to understand the nature of the social and economic organization of Late Bronze Age societies of central Mongolia, a region that many believe was occupied at the time by mobile pastoralists. Located in the grasslands of Central Mongolia, our research area is dotted with impressive stone built burial and ritual sites dating to the second and first millennia BCE, and continues to be inhabited by horse-riding nomadic pastoralists who have maintained much of their traditional lifestyle.
