Spanning at least 40,000 km, the road network joined the farthest reaches of the empire to Cuzco, the imperial capital, via two main routes, one in the highlands and the other hugging the coastline. Additional roads crossed the Andes, running from the coast past the Americas’ highest peaks and down into the forests and plains of the eastern lowlands. A 12-year project on the roads by professionals from six Andean nations resulted in the naming of the Qhapaq Ñan as the largest archaeological site on the World Heritage list in 2014. The recent research has illuminated the organization of the network through examination of precursors, detailed descriptions of more than 200 sectors, logistical studies at the local and macro levels, GIS analyses, and explorations of human experience in traversing a landscape that the Inkas saw as populated by innumerable non-human beings. The present article discusses those issues, summarizing the results of the recent studies, and poses areas of inquiry for future research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93733,"journal":{"name":"Asian archaeology","volume":"2 1","pages":"3 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s41826-018-0016-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50497029","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}

The information from these excavations provides the most extensive data—including the first large series of radiocarbon dates—on the Bronze Age and Early Iron Ages from central Mongolia. Contrary to what some have asserted, it becomes clear that khirigsuurs always served as graves for one individual also in this part of the country. Our discussion of slab graves highlights the particular custom of animal scapula depositions in specific graves as well as the removal of the head/skull, both, in our view, ritual practices. The investigation of three structures along the Khöshöö Tsaĭdam road revealed a much greater diversity of monument types in the Bronze and Early Iron Ages than had previously been recorded and illustrates the growing complexity of those periods beyond the traditional narratives centering around the monument types of khirigsuurs, slab graves, and deer stones.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93733,"journal":{"name":"Asian archaeology","volume":"1 1-2","pages":"3 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s41826-018-0001-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50450407","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}

This critical location marks the start of the route to the Minusinsk Hollow through the Sayan Mountains and possesses the largest and best grazing areas in Central Tuva. About 50 flat graves of the Xiongnu period have been excavated at Ala-Tey and Terezin: burial types include stone cists and pits faced with stone or wood. Burial positions were mainly stretched, supine but several burials feature flexed legs. Each grave contained either one or two ceramic vessels. Unlike Ala-Tey, at Terezin, weaponry was found, namely, a bone bow strengthener and an arrowhead. Burials at both sites include many decorations for belts and clothing, beads, pendants, earrings, Chinese <i>wu zhu</i> coins, and Western Han mirrors and their fragments. The openwork bronze belt plaques represent true masterpieces of ancient nomadic art. Artifact types and AMS dates suggest these sites may date to the second-first centuries BC.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93733,"journal":{"name":"Asian archaeology","volume":"1 1-2","pages":"45 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s41826-018-0004-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50446594","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}
