Chongye and Tibetan imperial burial landscapes
Chongye ('Phyong rgyas)
Royal and regional burial mounds reveal the scale of elite commemoration and mobilized labor. Survey places Chongye within a wider landscape rather than treating it as the whole empire.
Highland landscapes, communities, and changing institutions
Plateau, valley, and connected regional landscapes
The core valleys were connected to a much wider political network. Burial concentrations mark commemorative choices, not immutable borders.
Political organization and community scale
Imperial rulers, aristocratic lineages, and regional elites organized power and labor; their claims did not make all subjects culturally or linguistically identical.
Later transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
Landscape studies have expanded beyond famous royal tombs. Sacred places and human remains require sensitive treatment rather than spectacle or racial classification.
Regional tombs extend the evidence beyond the ruling family.
The project places examples at least in the fourth century CE while noting uncertainty.
Research discusses different social levels without making burial wealth a complete census.

Monuments record labor and status as well as royal memory.
The beginning and end of a burial tradition need not match a dynasty exactly.
