Tahiltyn Khotgot

Tahiltyn Khotgot lies in the dry country south of the western Mongolian lakes, where the Altai foothills meet the Great Lakes Depression. The nearby Durgun Lake is a saline remnant of a much larger prehistoric lake. Archaeological study of human remains from Tahiltyn Khotgot found traces of horse milk proteins, evidence of the dairy pastoralism that sustained people in the eastern Eurasian steppe for thousands of years.
