En route from Ulaanbaatar to Khentii is the Ar Janchivlan valley, where graves, rock art, and monuments from Mongolia’s ancient and medieval past have been the focus of recent archaeological fieldwork carried out by the Mongolian University of Science and Technology. This 10-day educational program in Ar Janchivlan valley and Khentii Province will incorporate archaeological field research, academic instruction and lectures, cultural engagement, outdoor activities, and adventurous backcountry reconnaissance in order for participants to gain a multi-faceted, meaningful understanding of the Land of Eternal Blue Heaven. 1 Additional fees incurred if paying contribution via PayPal. Please see the program application form for more details. 2 Full participant contribution will not be due until the minimum number of participants (4) have been accepted. All participants will be notified of official program status before August 1st. 1 CSEN Ar Janchivlan Valley & Khentii Province Field Program 2015 About the Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads The Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization founded by Dr. Jeannine Davis-Kimball in 1989.

August 14th (Day 1) – Introduction to the history and religions of Mongolia Our team heads to Gandan monastery for morning services, then to the National Museum of Mongolia for an expert-led tour through Mongolia’s prehistory, history, traditional culture, and modern politics. After lunch, Dr. Erdenebold will give us a private lecture at the Mongolian University of Science and Technology. In the afternoon our team will depart the capital for the Ar Janchivlan Valley. On our way, we will visit the famous Turk imperial Tonyukuk monument site before arriving at basecamp near the Xiongnu/Khunnu cemetery of Bishreltiin Am. Bishreltiin Am is a small river valley surrounded by hills; a few nomadic families living in traditional ger nearby and our team will likely interact with the local residents during our time at Bishreltiin Am. August 15th (Day 2) – The imperial cemetery at Bishreltiin Am Today we will focus our attention on a small Xiongn/Khunnu cemetery constructed in the upper pasturelands of Bishreltiin Am. Our Field Instructors will introduce basic archaeological methods to participants at the Bishreltiin Am site. Our team will map and explore the cemetery, then after lunch conduct a more extensive pedestrian survey along the slopes surrounding the site. Near the Bishreltiin Am site is a large ovoo, a sacred rock cairn, that is regularly used by local shamans. Shamans adhere to their own rules and schedules, but we may be able to visit with one of the shamans while we are at the ovoo site. We will return to basecamp for dinner and overnight in tents. 3The field program schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions, unforeseeable events, the needs of local communities, and the discretion of field instructors. The current schedule is a guideline rather than a strict itinerary. Unless otherwise noted, all program team members will overnight in tents at temporary basecamps each night. 3 CSEN Ar Janchivlan Valley & Khentii Province Field Program 2015 August 16th (Day 3) – The sacred mountain Bayan Tsogt Our team will climb the large hill a few kilometers south of Bishreltiin Am, notable for its red-rock outcrops, modern ovoo, and archaeological features from multiple time periods (including the Ulaan Khad burials). During reconnaissance at Bayan Tsogt, we will identify and document a variety of burial types from Mongolian prehistory and scout for additional features of interest at this higher elevation. From Bayan Tsogt it is possible to see the broader steppe stretching west and north, where modern populations live at higher density and other archaeological sites have been found. In the afternoon we will continue our survey around Bishreltiin Am with the aim of finding ceramics and other archaeological finds from ancient herder campsites. August 17th (Day 4) – The Chinggis Khan statue and eastward journey After packing up basecamp, our team will stop at the Tsonjin Boldog monument complex on the way to Khentii Province. The brilliant-silver monumental statue of Chinggis Khan (Genghis Khan) on horseback was built in 2008 on the legendary site where the future World-Conqueror found a golden whip symbolizing his divine leadership. The monument houses two fine museums in its basement. Field instructors will guide participants through the museums, speaking on the archaeological cultures and historical significance found therein. Participants may choose to climb to the top of the statue for a panoramic view, to purchase souvenirs in the monument’s shops, or pay to take pictures dressed in traditional Mongolian clothing or reimagined historical garb and armor. We will drive east into Khentii Province and head into backcountry along the Tsenkhermandal Valley towards the Bayan River in the afternoon. Along the way we will stop at sites of historical and cultural significance, and perhaps to ask local herders for directions. August 18th (Day 5) – Baldan Bereeven monastery and nomadic family visit In the morning we will head to Baldan Bereeven monastery to explore the ruins and tour the operating temple buildings. Our team may have the opportunity to speak with some of the monks praying and living at Baldan Bereeven. On our way back to basecamp, we will drive past Khangal Lake and have a picnic lunch along its shores. In the afternoon we will visit with a nomadic family living near the banks of Bayan River and have a traditional Mongolian barbeque (khorkhog) with them, visiting them in their ger, and learning about the herding lifestyle in this part of Mongolia. 4 CSEN Ar Janchivlan Valley & Khentii Province Field Program 2015 August 19th (Day 6) – Rashaan Khad: thousands of years of Mongolian history on one hill Today we depart Bayan River and journey east along the Khurkh River towards the Rashaan Khad site. Rashaan Khad is one of the most impressive and important sites in Mongolia. Rashaan Khad consists of rock art from the Paleolithic to early modern period, debris from stone-tool manufacture, burials, ovoo sites, and a sacred water spring distributed on and around a slope overlooking the wide floodplain of the Khurkh River. Our team will explore these features, expand upon the methods they learned in Ar Janchivlan Valley, and gain first-hand knowledge of a wide array of Mongolian history. August 20th (Day 7) – Binder and introduction to Buryat culture Finishing up at Rashaan Khad, our team travels to the small town of Binder, a center for the Buryat ethnic minority. On our way we will scout for the burial and deerstone site located between Rashaan Khad and Binder, as well as for other archaeological features. Near Binder we will have the opportunity to ride horses on the beautiful steppe and see the differences between other nomadic families we’ve encountered (primarily from the Khalkha ethnic majority) and the Buryat people. Our team will overnight at a ger camp near Binder, which should hopefully have showers and suitable beds that help us feel refreshed after our toils in the field. August 21st (Day 8) – The medieval mountaintop fortress Uglugchiin Kherem After a relaxed morning in Binder, our team travels north to the ruined hilltop fortress of Uglugchiin Kherem. Most of what remains of the fortress is a stacked rock wall that ruins up the steep hill and along the ridge, which provides an amazing strategic view of the surrounding countryside. Our team

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Transport plays a crucial role in the efficient functioning of the domestic economy as well as development of international trade due to dependence on both coal-based energy production and imports. However, the issues in the transport sector of Mongolia are mainly derived from the salient features of a landlocked country with a low population and a long distance between population centers. A major characteristics of transportation in Mongolia is the collection and distribution by road of both passenger traffic and cargo transport from the north-south transport axis centering on Ulaanbaatar. The main north-south axis comprises both rail and road. Within road transport, the density of arterial road network remains very low and unpaved earth roads or multiple shifting tracks occupy a large portion of arterial roads. More than 30% of population and a half of national car ownership are concentrated in Ulaanbaatar City, while very low level of mobility is found in rural area because non-motorized traffic such as horse and cart prevails. Recently, such gap of mobility level is increasing. Under such circumstances, in response to the request of the Government of Mongolia (hereinafter referred to as "GOM"), the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Feasibility Study on Construction of Eastern Arterial Road in Mongolia (hereinafter referred to as "the Study"), in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in force in Japan. Japan International Cooperation Agency (hereinafter referred to as "JICA"), the official agency responsible for the implementation of the technical cooperation programs of the Government of Japan, dispatched the preparatory study team headed by Mr.

  • Tea Practices in Mongolia a Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings
    Gaby Bamana University of Wales Tea Practices in Mongolia A Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings This article provides a description and analysis of tea practices in Mongolia that disclose features of female power and gendered meanings relevant in social and cultural processes. I suggest that women’s gendered experiences generate a differentiated power that they engage in social actions. Moreover, in tea practices women invoke meanings that are also differentiated by their gendered experience and the powerful position of meaning construction. Female power, female identity, and gendered meanings are distinctive in the complex whole of cultural and social processes in Mongolia. This article con- tributes to the understudied field of tea practices in a country that does not grow tea, yet whose inhabitants have turned this commodity into an icon of social and cultural processes in everyday life. keywords: female power—gendered meanings—tea practices—Mongolia— female identity Asian Ethnology Volume 74, Number 1 • 2015, 193–214 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture t the time this research was conducted, salty milk tea (süütei tsai; сүүтэй A цай) consumption was part of everyday life in Mongolia.1 Tea was an ordi- nary beverage whose most popular cultural relevance appeared to be the expres- sion of hospitality to guests and visitors. In this article, I endeavor to go beyond this commonplace knowledge and offer a careful observation and analysis of social practices—that I identify as tea practices—which use tea as a dominant symbol. In tea practices, people (women in most cases) construct and/or reappropri- ate the meaning of their gendered identity in social networks of power.

It heavily affects vegetation and often leads to desertification. It also extends vehicle operating distance and time, resulting high transport cost. 2) Road Condition in Winter Multiple shifting tracks are covered with snow in winter and become slippery due to uneven surface together with compacted snow. Vehicular movement becomes risky and travel speed is forced to decrease considerably. 3) Existing Wooden Bridge Existing wooden bridge is severely deteriorated and danger always exists for heavy vehicles to go across. This is serious cause of disruption for traffic to cross the river. Heavy vehicles go across the river only when the flow is shallow.
