Study of Archaeological Monuments of Mongolian Altai (based on field work in 2015)

A 2015 archaeological expedition in Mongolia's Bayan-Ulgii and Hovd regions uncovered significant new insights into the cultural and chronological framework of the Mongolian Altai, particularly regarding Bronze Age monuments. The study documented previously unknown petroglyphs, 'deer' stones, Turkic fences, and medieval sculptures, while also revisiting well-known sites like Chandman Har uzuur and Yamany-us. Additionally, it focused on highland settlement residues and runic inscriptions, contributing to a broader understanding of the region's history from antiquity to the ethnographic present. This work highlights the importance of integrating scattered scientific data into comprehensive monographs for future research.
