Site Characteristics and Chronology of the Archaeological Remains in the Tarim Basin Region

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The central area of the Tarim Basin is surrounded by the western Tian Shan, the Pamir Plateau, the Kunlun Mountains, and the Kuruktag Mountains. Due to its cultural characteristics, the Yanqi Basin is also included as part of this area. As the Taklamakan Desert forms the central part of the basin, areas of human activity are mainly distributed throughout the surrounding piedmont regions. The banks (especially the rump areas) of the rivers that flowed deep into the desert were significant settlement areas of ancient groups of people.
