从哈德良的墙到中国长城，古老的强化结构一直是人们的关注主题。当考古学家遇到这些墙时，他们经常将它们归类为用于捍卫和保护社区的军事结构。 蒙古最近发掘的墙证明，军事假设并不总是正确的。 The new study, published in Antiquity, suggests that this wall was an important part of frontier life and provides a more complex picture of society in medieval Mongolia.“Our goal was not only to understand how these walls were built, but to uncover what life was like for the people who lived near them. This goes beyond military history – it’s about reconstructing everyday experiences on the edges of imperial power,” said Gideon Shelach-Lavi, from the Department of Asian Studies at the耶路撒冷希伯来大学的新闻稿。阅读更多：中世纪的骨骼揭示了中世纪中世纪救生员中中世纪救生员的残疾人的生活。 （图片来源：Gideon Shelach-Lavi）在墙壁附近发现了一个浅沟，这表明军事防御远非其目的。取而代之的是，研究人员得出结论认为，墙可能是检查站或领土标记。有各种文物的集合，包括动物骨头，陶器，铁工具和破碎的铁犁。这些文物可能证明，居住在墙附近的人们已经永久定居，并参加了诸如放牧，狩猎和农业之类的活动。 也有证据表明，这种人口具有令人难以置信的适应性，并且参与了文化交流和贸易。研究人员发现一种类似于中国和韩国的供暖系统。这种供暖系统将被用来帮助社区在苛刻的蒙古冬季生存。 在
