Collections: 2001 Upper Tibet Antiquities Expedition (UTAE)
Description:
One of the opened burial tumuli (bang so) at the rdeﾒu rug site (D-99). The pilferage of these tombs continues to the present day and has reached extremely alarming proportions. It is reported that in early 2005, a bulldozer was brought in to completely level another tumulus in the area in the illegal search for artifacts, which can be sold in the Tibetan antiques and antiquities market.Associated Resources
