Summary:

The map "The Burial mound Sites of Imperial Central Tibet, map scale 1:800.000" is the result of an inter-disciplinary cooperation project between the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Social Anthropology (ISA) and the university of Vienna, department of Geography and Regional Research (IfGR), Section Cartography and Geoinformation. The map illustrates the position of the burial moundfields in the central Tibetan region that have been registered so far by the ?Tibetan tumulus project? (TTT), an Austrian Science Fund (FWF) financed long-term research conducted at the Austrian Academy of Sciences? Institute for Social Anthropology. The entries of districts and key political sites related to the time of the Tibetan Empire (7th-9th cent. CE) form the relevant historical reference for this distribution map. This reveals a tumulus landscape of enormous concentration in the relatively small geographic area of Central Tibet (Dbus-Gtsang region), largely the ancient Bod, which in geographical, economic and political terms formed the heartland of the Tibetan Empire.0The supplement gives insight in the general topic of the burial mound sites of imperial Central Tibet as well as a short overview of the cartographic map structure and creation. It concludes with a listing that represents an adapted version of the site list given on the TTT website.
