This collaborative project between Western Kentucky University and the National Museum of Mongolia aims to investigate human-environment relationships and understand the nature of the social, political, and economic organization of Bronze and Iron Age societies in the Züünkhangai region of Mongolia through the use of landscape and settlement archaeology (see Project Overview below for more details). The 2024 field season will include regional survey and excavation of ancient nomadic pastoralist habitation sites and ritual monuments. Participants will receive training in survey, proper methods of unearthing and documenting materials, and other related field and lab methods. This project accommodates participants wishing to receive academic credit through WKU and those just willing to gain archaeological field experience. |
