The excavation of the Tamir Ulaan Khoshuu site is co-directed by Professor Tsagaan Turbat (Institute of History and Archaeology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences) and Professor Eric Crubezy (Paul Sabatier University Toulouse III). It benefits from the participation and support of the Institute of Deserts and Steppes (Scientific Director: Professor Pierre-Henri Giscard).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study of Tamir Ulaan necropolis, dated from the Xiongnu period (3th c. BC-2nd c. AD), follows two purposes\u00a0: to understand better the funerary practices and, more globally, to highlight the culture of its population, which maintained close relations with the Han of China.
The necropolis is located in the Arkhanga\u00ef region, in the heart of Mongolia. Occuping about 22\u00a0hectares on the hillside, the site overlooks the floodplain of the Tamir River.
A paleo-genetic study is being carried out in parallel to the excavations to apprehend the settlement patterns of Mongolian and Siberian steppes.

Historical background and research axis<\/strong>
The excavation of the necropolis raises many questions.
They concern first of all the people buried here after having nomadized in the surrounding steppes: who were they? What relationships did they have with the other steppe populations? To what extend had they exchanges and interactions with their powerful neighbours in China, the Hans?
The questions also concern the way the necropolis functioned through time and space. Therefore, absolute datings will be done to understand its chronological evolution. These chornological data, associated with the anthropological studies, should unable a better understanding of the recruitment within the necropolis: was it intended for the entire population? Or was there a specific recruitment based on predefined socio-cultural criteria?
Finally, the paleo-genetic study will provide new insights into the family relationships within these nomadic populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
