History
The Tamtsagbulag Neolithic site in Dornod, active more than 4000 years ago, is proof
that agriculture predated nomadic pastoralism on the eastern steppes. But it was the Kit-
an, a Manchurian tribal confederation, who made the first big impression on the region,
building forts and farming communities in the 10th century, including Kherlen Bar Khot
in Dornod.
