This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "New Directions in Mongolian Archaeology" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Archaeology in Northeast Asia is undergoing great changes. Mongolia and proximate regions are an epicenter for new research approaches and syntheses of Northeast Asian and Eurasian archaeology. This session will highlight the work of new researchers and the application of materials analysis, bioarchaeology, heritage management, isotope zooarchaeology, ceramic analysis, landscapes, excavation, and geoarchaeology to a range of problems covering Epipaleolithic to medieval periods in the Northeast Asia steppe.
