Abstract

It has been almost 100 years since the pioneering expedition of the American Museum of Natural History (New York) to the Gobi Desert led by Roy Chapman Andrews in 1922. Therefore, it is an opportune time to examine the contribution Andrews made to palaeontology in central Asia and to consider the question of education and repatriation in the context of the protection of Mongolia’s fossilised heritage. Furthermore, this paper investigates the threat to Mongolia’s rare and exceptional cultural heritage posed by modern-day fossil poachers along with domestic efforts to combat the illicit fossil trade in central Asia. This paper concludes with an examination of the repatriation from the United States of Tarbosaurus bataar and the establishment of the Central Museum of Mongolian Dinosaurs dedicated to repatriated dinosaur specimens.

蒙古的化石遗产

自1922年Roy Chapman Andrews带领美国自然历史博物馆（纽约）首次远征戈壁滩以来，已有近100年的历史。因此，现在正是审查安德鲁斯对中亚古生物学的贡献，并在保护蒙古化石遗产的背景下考虑教育和遣返问题的恰当时机。此外，本文还调查了现代化石偷猎者对蒙古罕见和特殊文化遗产构成的威胁，以及国内打击中亚非法化石贸易的努力。本文最后审查了从美国遣返塔尔博萨鲁斯·巴塔尔的情况，并建立了专门用于遣返恐龙标本的蒙古恐龙中央博物馆。

期刊介绍： The Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU) was founded in 1986 as a group within the Department of Social Anthropology to promote research and teaching relating to Mongolia and Inner Asia on an inter-disciplinary basis. The unit aims to promote and encourage study of this important region within and without the University of cambridge, and to provide training and support for research to all those concerned with its understanding. It is currently one of the very few research-oriented forums in the world in which scholars can address the contemporary and historical problems of the region.
