Ordos culture
The Ordos culture was a culture occupying a region centered on the Ordos Loop (modern Inner Mongolia, China) during the Bronze and early Iron Age from the 6th to 2nd centuries BCE. The Ordos culture is known for significant finds of Scythian art and is thought to represent the easternmost extension of Europoid Eurasian nomads, specifically the Scythians. Under the Qin and Han dynasties, the area came under at least loose Chinese control.
6th to 2nd centuries BCE.
==Background==
Equestrian nomads occupied the area previously settled by the Zhukaigou culture from the 6th to the 2nd century BCE, which appears to have been predominantly Mongoloid, as known from their skeletal remains and artifacts,〔Ma 2005, p. 196-197〕before being driven away by the Xiongnu. The Ordos culture is thought to have been the most eastern extension of Eurasian nomads who were Europoid or at least partly so.〔Lebedynsky, p131〕〔Wuen, (Taohongbala Tombs ). ''Encyclopedia of China'', 1st ed.〕 At the time, it contained the best pasture lands on the Asian Steppe at this time. The Ordos Plateau was covered by grass, bushes, and trees and was sufficiently watered by numerous rivers and streams to produce rich grazing lands. However, it has now mostly turned to the Ordos Desert through a combination of overgrazing and climatic change, with modern interventions by the government of China being especially harmful.
