Everything about Niya Tarim Basin totally explained
Niya is an
archaeological site located on the southern edge of the
Tarim Basin in modern-day
Xinjiang,
Autonomous areas of China. Here numerous ancient archaeological artifacts have been recovered. Niya was once a major commercial center on an
oasis on the southern branch of the
Silk Road in the southern
Taklamakan Desert. During ancient times camel
caravans would cut through, carrying goods from
China to
Central Asia.
Excavation
In 1994 the official approval for Sino-Japanese joint
archaeological excavations at the site was given in 1994. Researchers have now found remains of human habitation including approximately 100 dwellings, burial areas, sheds for animals, orchards, gardens, and agricultural fields. They also found in the dwellings well-preserved tools such as iron
axes and
sickles, wooden
clubs, pottery
urns and jars of preserved crops. The human remains found there have led to speculation on the origins of these peoples.
Archeological findings from the ruins of Niya are housed in the
Tokyo National Museum.
