Research Abstract

In this project, we took filed surveys at inland areas, such as alluvial plains, basins, marshes and lakes in arid areas in Middle East and Central Asia. The recent progress researches using physical and chemical analyses made clear the process of environmental changes during the archeological stages and distributions of archeological ruins. Our discussions about the relationship between the drastic climatic changes of 10-100 years intervals could be applied to the predictions of future global environment and human activities.
