The first published archaeological survey of the Egiin Gol valley
of Mongolia, spanning the last 30,000 years and centering on the
integration of local sites and landscape  This is the first
complete intensive regional archaeological survey report for
Mongolia to be published. It presents the experiences and results
of groundbreaking fieldwork that detected ephemeral steppe
settlement sites, extensive monumental constructions, and changing
land use that span the last 30,000 years, from the late Upper
Paleolithic to the nineteenth century. Extensive illustrations of
monuments and ceramics provide comparative data and local detail in
an integrated landscape- and settlement-based approach to the
prehistory and history of eastern Eurasia. Â The authors
examine the place of Egiin Gol in the Xiongnu and Early Turkic
polities and reveal the historical landscape of Buddhist
monasteries and farms, highlighting this region of northern
Mongolia as a historical breadbasket. Throughout, the focus is on
the local and immediate archaeology of the Egiin Gol valley, the
impetus for change and continuity, and how sites and features
worked together to create past cultural landscapes. Â This
volume is aimed at Eurasian and Mongolian specialists,
archaeologists in general, landscape archaeologists, historians of
East Asia and Eurasia, environmental historians, and agrarian
studies scholars interested in the history and study of
pastoralism, including development and rangeland management.
