Social networks on the Tibetan plateau since the bronze age
By Knowridge -February 6, 2024
New research sheds light on the ancient roots of cultural interactions across the Tibetan Plateau, tracing these connections back to as early as the Bronze Age.
Despite its challenging environment, with an average altitude of 14,000 feet, the “roof of the world” has been home to humans since prehistoric times, where farming and herding have long been the backbone of the local economy.
In a study published in Scientific Reports, researchers utilized advanced geospatial modeling to delve into the environmental and archaeological evidence that reveals ancient mobility and subsistence strategies.
These strategies played a crucial role in fostering cultural connections among farmers and herders during the Bronze and Iron Ages, influencing the settlement pattern and the evolution of ceramic styles across the plateau.
