Resilient Herders: Continuity and Change in Pastoral Household Life in Mongolia

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Empirical Approaches to Mobile Pastoralist Households" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Understanding how human societies interacted with environmental changes is a major goal of anthropological archaeology. In this paper, we assess human-environment interactions at the household level in three regions of Mongolia during the Bronze and Iron Ages. We review shifting environmental conditions and the continuities and discontinuities in household life and the nature and intensity of the human occupation in an attempt to more actively integrate archaeology with ongoing environmental discussions of mobile pastoralist responses to the effects of environmental change in Mongolia.
