Since that time, a large number of studies have shown that the late stage of the Hongshan Culture (6500—5000 cal BP) in western Liaoning had entered a stage of early civilized society. Recent research based on scientific and technological archaeological materials shows that the Hongshan Culture was dominated by a fishing and hunting economy. It shows that in some specific areas, the fishing and hunting economy can not only produce Neolithic culture, but also can give birth to early civilization, which further breaks from traditional understanding. The Hongshan Culture has a special economic structure based on fishing and hunting, supplemented by agriculture. It shows the harmonious coexistence of nature and culture, which jointly promoted the development of society.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93733,"journal":{"name":"Asian archaeology","volume":"8 1","pages":"113 - 122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140658677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major hindrance in the study and analysis of the Koguryŏ painted tombs is the lack of a reliable chronological framework. These tombs have not been identified and securely dated apart from two tombs that do carry inscriptions revealing the identity of the occupant. This study focuses on the images of the Northern Dipper and the Southern Dipper constellations which are conspicuously depicted on a larger scale on the tombs’ ceiling. It compared two groups of tombs, the ones that feature the Northern Dipper constellation alone and those which have paired Northern and Southern Dipper constellations, and it inquired whether this difference has implications for the chronology of the tombs. This new study demonstrates that one mode of representation seems to have preceded the second group of tombs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93733,"journal":{"name":"Asian archaeology","volume":"8 1","pages":"83 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140383468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He died on February 8, 1265, CE, at an estimated age of 48 years. Unlike our knowledge about the death and burial of Genghis Khan (d. 1227 CE), which is recorded in one of the oldest of the autochthonous chronicles, <i>The Secret History of the Mongols</i>, with no reference to time or place, the approximate location of Hülegü’s final resting place is referenced in several documents. Contemporary Persian resources unanimously suggest that the treasury and royal tomb of Hülegü Khan lie somewhere in Lake Urmia on Shahi Island (Jazīreh-ye-Shāhī), Northwest Iran. Rashīd al-Dīn posited that the Hülegü’s treasury is filled with pillow-size gold ingots and treasures gathered from across the Ilkhanid Empire. The exact location and discovery of this hidden treasure and the burial place of Hülegü remain one of the most persistent unsolved mysteries and none of the later archaeological studies challenged this attribution. This paper will discuss the idea that Shahi Island contains the fabled tomb of the legendary ruler of Ilkhanid Iran (1256–1335 CE) Hülegü, his sons Abaqa Khan (1234–1282 CE), as well as Mongol queens, high priests, and other elites. The findings of this research are important because they could launch a new era for Mongol studies and the archaeology of hidden treasures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93733,"journal":{"name":"Asian archaeology","volume":"8 1","pages":"21 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s41826-024-00082-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140225337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
