A newly discovered walled enclosure of the Mongol Empire period in the Orkhon Valley, Mongolia A newly discovered walled enclosure of the Mongol Empire period in the Orkhon Valley, Mongolia
New publication in Studia Archaeologica
For the first time, a Mongol-era walled enclosure was discovered on the right, eastern bank of the Orkhon in Arkhangai aimag. Its documentation was carried out with a fixed-wing eBee X drone. The design of the settlement, comparative examples and artifacts are briefly described. It was only used during the 13th/14th century CE and testifies to the intensive development of the Orkhon Valley during the Mongol Empire.
