ARCHEOLOGY IN TUVA
Uncovering skeletons and pottery in a
Scythian grave
| In 1995 I
joined a team of Russian archeologists sponsored by the Golden Griffin Foundation
in excavating a Scythian burial mound. The dig was
located in a region called Mongun Taiga, located in
western Tuva,
which is an autonomous republic of the Russian
Federation. After the expedition I wrote some articles to help
publicize the foundation's work. You can also read a
hair-raising selection from expedition leader's journal.
