PROGRAM OVERVIEW The “Central Mongolian Nomads Project” is a 17-day archaeological field school and research project conducted in Ulaanbaatar, Ar Janchivlan Valley (located in Tuv Province), and the western portion of Khentii Province. Archaeologists from the University of Chicago and the Mongolian University of Science & Technology will give lectures, lead seminars and lab practica, and provide hands-on instruction in core field methods through original research and visits to sites of archaeological significance in rural Mongolia. The field school aims to provide students of all ages and backgrounds with a rigorous, well-rounded introduction to archaeological research in Mongolia through intellectual and practical engagement with Mongolian history, prehistory, and culture. Our team of students and staff will live, learn, and adventure together for two weeks in late June and early July through the steppe, river valleys, and forested zone of Central Mongolia after three intense days of classroom learning in Ulaanbaatar. Archaeologists always conduct their field research within a specific cultural context; thus, our team will engage with individuals, communities, and institutions that have a stake in Mongolia’s cultural heritage. Our students of all ages and backgrounds will practice their new language skills with Mongolian staff, visit with a nomadic family, and attend a local naadam festival as part of their education on Mongolia. *The participant contribution covers the following: -Airport pickup on June 20th and drop-off on July 8th at Chinggis Khan International Airport or the main railway station in Ulaanbaatar -Shared rooms in a guesthouse with other archaeological field school students in Ulaanbaatar on the nights of June 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, and July 7th 2 Central Mongolian Nomads Project 2016 Field School Handbook -Three meals per day from June 21st through July 7th (does not include: alcoholic beverages, dessert, espresso, or personal snacks.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The “Central Mongolian Nomads Project” is a joint endeavor of the Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads (CSEN) and the Department of Humanities at the Mongolian University of Science & Technology (MUST). The CSEN executive director, Dr. Jeannine Davis-Kimball, first collaborated with Dr. Lhagvasurengiin Erdenebold (now professor at MUST) in 2001 on an archaeological expedition in the Mongolian Altai. 15 years later, the “Central Mongolian Nomads Project” will inaugurate its first season as an archaeological field school and provide international students of all ages and backgrounds with archaeological field experience in the Mongolian context through original research, multidisciplinary learning activities, and cultural immersion. 4 Central Mongolian Nomads Project 2016 Field School Handbook Field school instructors will give lectures and lead seminars in Ulaanbaatar and in rural Mongolia, tailoring these activities to the practical work and original research of each portion of the program. Students will learn research methods in the lab (zooarchaeology, bioarchaeology, archaeological drawing, and ceramic analysis) and field (mapping, data recording, and pedestrian survey) under the guidance of experienced American and Mongolian archaeologists. The “Central Mongolian Nomads Project” will also provide instruction on Mongolian language, history, and cultures through a combination of classroom lessons and instructor-guided site visits in two regions (Ar Janchivlan Valley in Tuv Province and the western portion of Khentii Province). Students will receive a program syllabus detailing required readings and classroom activities via e-mail after they are officially enrolled in the field school (i.e., after they have submitted all materials listed on page 30). Xiongnu burial with dromos in Central Mongolia Ar Janchivlan Valley is a locus of long-term cultural activity in Central Mongolia located near a modern shamanic center, the monumental Genghis Khan equestrian statue complex Tsonjin Boldog, and one of Mongolia’s most famous sites belonging to the Turk Empire. Ritual and mortuary sites from Bronze Age, Xiongnu, Turk, and Mongol periods dot this valley and nearby hills in Tuv Province, where local nomadic families herd animals through steppe pastureland and raptors fly overhead. Archaeologists from the Mongolian University of Science & Technology have conducted numerous field expeditions to Ar Janchivlan Valley in recent years to lay the groundwork for more targeted investigations. The research goals for the “Central Mongolian Nomads Project” in Ar Janchivlan Valley are: 1. Map the Xiongnu cemetery at Bishreltiin Am in order to understand the chronology and spatial organization of the site

This thematic group studies the rubrics, devoted to landscape vocabulary, different soil types, water bodies, atmospheric phenomena, celestial sphere. The material, mainly from Khalkha-Mongolian and Old Written Mongolian languages is subject to the analysis; the data from Buryat and Kalmyk languages were also included, as they were presented in these languages. The Buryat material was mainly closer to the Khalkha-Mongolian one. For comparison, the material, mainly from the Old Turkic language, showing the presence of similar words, was included; it testified about the so-called Turkic-Mongolian lexical commonness. The analysis of inner forms of these revealed common lexemes in the majority of cases allowed determining their Turkic origin, proved by wide occurrence of these lexemes in Turkic languages and Turkologists' acknowledgement of their Turkic origin. The presence of great quantity of common vocabulary, which origin is determined as Turkic, testifies about repeated ancient contacts of Mongolian and Turkic languages, taking place in historical retrospective, resulting in hybridization of Mongolian vocabulary.

  • An Empirical Study of Harmonious Co-Existence in the Multi-Ethnic Culture of Qinghai

Abstract Finding the key to achieving harmonious co-existence among ethnic groups with different cultural traditions in a multi-ethnic state is a major problem worldwide. Qinghai is located at the intersection of the four major spheres of cultural influence of the nationalities of the Central Plains, Tibet, the Western Regions, and the Northern Grasslands, where multiple cultures co-exist, borrow from each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, thus vividly embodying the coexistence principle of “harmony in diversity.” Based on case studies on the Tibetanisation of the Han nationality, the acculturation towards Tibetan culture and Han culture, and the Islamisation of the Tibetanised Hui people in Qinghai, this paper discusses the connotation of “harmony in diversity” in the context of ethnic relations in Qinghai. The author believes that here the “diversity” indicates that every ethnic group has a stable identity related to its own ethnicity, as well as its important cultural traits, and that this identity is fully respected.

  • The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People's Republic of China
    The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Xin Liu, Chair Professor Vincanne Adams Professor Alexei Yurchak Professor Michael Nylan Professor Shannon Jackson Spring 2011 Abstract The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Xin Liu, Chair Under state socialism in the People’s Republic of China, dancers’ bodies became important sites for the ongoing negotiation of two paradoxes at the heart of the socialist project, both in China and globally. The first is the valorization of physical labor as a path to positive social reform and personal enlightenment. The second is a dialectical approach to epistemology, in which world-knowing is connected to world-making. In both cases, dancers in China found themselves, their bodies, and their work at the center of conflicting ideals, often in which the state upheld, through its policies and standards, what seemed to be conflicting points of view and directions of action. Since they occupy the unusual position of being cultural workers who labor with their bodies, dancers were successively the heroes and the victims in an ever unresolved national debate over the value of mental versus physical labor.

  • China - Mongols
    China - Mongols minorityrights.org/minorities/mongols/ June 19, 2015 Profile There are nearly 6 million Mongols in China, mainly concentrated in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) on China’s northern border with Mongolia and Russia. With only a few official crossing points, the border between IMAR and Mongolia has been the site of tensions as China has sought to enforce its policies abroad, such as in December 2016 when China temporarily closed a vital border crossing following a visit by the Dalai Lama to Mongolia. The Mongolian language is part of the Mongolic language family, with the majority of speakers in China using the Chahar, Oyirad and Barghu-Buryat dialects. Mongolian written language was adopted some 800 years ago, under Genghis Khan. It is modeled on an older form of vertically written Uyghur script. Most Mongols are Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhists, though some also maintain shamanist practices. They tend to be concentrated in the northern and central parts of the IMAR, although there are also substantial numbers in Xinjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Yimin provinces. State-sponsored or voluntary Han migration to the IMAR has long since made the Mongols a minority in their own land. Many Mongols still have a close connection with the traditional pastoral nomadism and culture of their ancestors, though this has been weakened in many areas of China, where this lifestyle is under threat from environmental degradation, urbanization and forced urbanization or other governmental pressures. The IMAR is rich in natural resources and open land, which has fuelled successive waves of exploitative land and resource grabs sparking episodes of resistance from ethnic Mongolians and harsh responses from the State.

  • Integration and Separation of 'Language': Language Policies Of
    Integration and Separation of ‘Language’: Language Policies of Mongolian Peoples in the USSR and Mongolia, 1920–1940 ARAI Yukiyasu Introduction To define what is a language is very difficult. There are many aspects that are relevant to this question. One approach is that a particular language is completely different from others. Another is that a language is similar to adjacent languages but still calls itself a language. There are also some cases in the world where there are debates whether a vernacular in discussion is a language or a dialect. In this paper, therefore, I would like to discuss a case of Mongolian peoples where three written ‘languages’ came into being from people who had obscure ethnic boundaries but were united in one written language. There are no studies, which deal with the language policy of all the Mongolian peoples as a whole. But for the whole of the Soviet Union in this period, we can refer to the writings of V.M. Alpatov and M.I. Isaev.1 For other groups of people like Turks, there are a lot of books and papers which deal with the language policy of that group as a whole like Winner, Smith or Şimşir and books on orthographies of Turkic peoples.2 For the creation of alphabets for minority peoples (with populations less than 50,000), a paper by O.A. Kazakevich gives a very useful list that describes which language had (and has) an alphabet, in which script and in which 1 V. M. Al pa t ov, 150 iazykov i politika: 1917–2000 (Moscow 2000); M.I.
