Mongolian-German Karakorum Expedition
Vol. 1: Excavations in the Craftsman Quarter at the Main Road
edited by Jan Bemmann, Ulambayar Erdenebat and Ernst Pohl
English description: Karakorum, the first capital of the Mongol empire, has, since 1998, been explored by archaeologists from the University of Bonn in an interdisciplinary and international cooperation project. This first multi-year study of a newly founded city in the Mongolian steppe sheds new light on the complexity of equestrian nomadic organizations. The excavation area on the main street of the city opened a deep insight into Chinese crafts quarters and the living conditions of residents in the 13th and 14th Centuries AD. This publication includes findings from the excavations in the city center as well as contributions on the research history of Karakorum, but also on environmental geography and history of religion. German description: Karakorum, die erste Hauptstadt des mongolischen Weltreiches wird seit 1998 von Archaologen der Universitat Bonn in einem interdisziplinaren und internationalen Kooperationsprojekt erforscht. Die erstmalige langjahrige Untersuchung einer neugegrundeten Stadt in der mongolischen Steppe wirft neues Licht auf die Komplexitat reiternomadischer Organisationsformen. Die Grabungsflache an der Hauptstrasse der Stadt eroffnen tiefe Einblicke in ein chinesisch gepragtes Handwerkerviertel sowie die Lebensumstande der Bewohner im 13./14. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Die Publikation umfasst Funde und Befunde aus den Grabungen in der Stadtmitte sowie Beitrage zur Erforschungsgeschichte Karakorums, aber auch zur Umweltgeographie und zur Religionsgeschichte.
