With grateful thanks to all Khan Bank branches throughout Mongolia, and the Aimag and Soum officials who assisted the survey as well as the Border Inspection Office who issued permits for survey teams to visit sites in restricted areas. Our special thanks go to all the informants especially the old, who willingly gave their time and memories without which this project would not have been possible.
