John Vincent Bellezza: New Archaeological Discoveries In Tibet Article in Asian Arts by John Vincent Bellezza concerning a series of preBuddhist archaeological sites in the western tibet province of Ngari. http://www.asianart.com/articles/bellezza/index.html
Extractions: Black Rock In August and September of 1998 I discovered a series of pre-Buddhist archaeological sites in the western Tibet province of Ngari (mNga ris) . Located in close proximity to what had been important prehistoric sources of fresh water, these ancient sites include burial mounds, villages and ceremonial structures. Situated at 4500 meters in the Changthang (Byang thang), the vast northern plains of Tibet, these finds significantly add to our knowledge of Tibet before the spread of Buddhism in the 7 th to 11 th centuries. Until I began systematic exploration of Changthang, more than ten years ago, little was known about the character of its ancient civilization. In that time, I have charted dozens of sites spread over 400, 000 square kilometers, documenting the existence of the legendary Zhang zhung kingdom. Zhang zhung, according to classical Tibetan texts, was a powerful nation which dominated the Tibetan plateau before being conquered by the central Tibetan Pugyal (sPu rgyal) dynasty in the 7 th or 8 th century . Textual sources aside, there was little evidence for Zhang zhung before I began my work.

Extractions: Independent Travel Many people feel it is inappropriate to visit Tibet. The Dalai Lama, however, has spoken publicly of how individual travellers to Tibet benefit the Tibetan cause. Nevertheless always be aware that what may seem helpful for a Tibetan could have disastrous consequences. What you do can rebound on a Tibetan once you have gone home. Many people are against travelling to Tibet because they believe tourism provides legitimacy to the Chinese Government. It is also part of China's economic policy to encourage tourism in Tibet, especially wealthy Westerners on package group tours. Supporting the immigrant population of 7·5 million Chinese, in addition to the six million Tibetans, is such a drain on Chinese resources that the Government desperately needs tourism, and the hard currency it provides, to boost the Tibetan economy. After the first trickle of tourists in the early-1980s, there was a boom in the number of tourists entering the country - 40,000 people in the Tibet Autonomous Region alone in 1987. However, the uprisings of 1987-88 and the consequent imposition of martial law resulted in the country being officially closed to all visitors, journalists and tourists alike. In June 1989, it was announced that tourists would again be able to visit Tibet. Latest figures show that the Chinese Government is expecting 75,000 visitors to Tibet in each of the next five years.
