| Research Abstract |
Based on interpretation of Corona satellite photographs, field survey and documentary records, classification of ruins of the Silk Roads periods in and around Tarim basin, China, is dicrussed, focusing on the terrestrial condition. Results are summarized as follows:
Terrestrial conditions of the present large oases are divided into the piedmont alluvial fan type (P type), the alluvial fan-riparian type (P-R type) and the delta type (D type).
Terrestrial conditions of the wall-surrounded ruins, in relation with the present large oasis on the alluvial fan along the same river course, are classified into the inside type situated inside of the same city, the extended or neighboring type on the same alluvial fan area, and the far distant type isolated to the lower reaches more than hundred kilometers. Among the extended or neighboring type, some ruins are situated on the relatively higher surfaces compared with the present oases.
Factors controlling relationships between the ruins and the present oasis city above mentioned, are the plane pattern of the river course after passed through the piedmont fan area, the position in relation with directions of the drifting sand from the Taklimakan desert, and tectonic movements such as the active fault and active warping as the basic factor, in addition to the amount of the water discharge from the mountain area and its changes former studies already pointed out.
