Mongolian Archaeology Tomorrow

A national museum focused on Chinggis Khaan opened in Ulaanbaatar in 2022. In November of 2022, the National University of Mongolia hosted a conference to open their new archaeological institute. The meeting included what one might expect of such an event anywhere in the world, bright polyglot students, young academics with top flight international PhDs, and foreign scholars. The institute is the outcome of a commitment by Mongolia’s premier university and a dream team of Mongolian archaeologists that brought it together to empower the study of Mongolia’s cultural heritage. Through these developments and visions archaeology in Mongolia today is a microcosm of the modern nation.
