Abstract

The paper features the results of an analysis of satellite images of the territory of Mongolia and Western Transbaikalia obtained from free sources. Monitoring of the images allowed to identify new objects, which are interpreted by the authors as the remains of ancient hillforts of nomadic Empires - the Xiongnu, Uighurs, Khitan and Mongol. The paper provides the preliminary dating and description of the objects.
