The map illustrates the position of the burial mound fields in Central Tibet that have been registered so far by the “Tibetan tumulus project”, an Austrian Science Fund (FWF) financed long-term research conducted at the Austrian Academy of Sciences’ Institute for Social Anthropology (ISA). The entries of districts and key political sites related to the time of the Tibetan Empire (7th-9th cent. CE) form the relevant historical reference for this distribution map. This reveals a tumulus landscape of enormous concentration in the relatively small geographic area of Central Tibet (Dbus-Gtsang region), which in geographical, economic and political terms formed the heartland of the Tibetan Empire. Die Karte illustriert die Lage der Hügelgräberfelder von Zentraltibet, die im Rahmen des “Tibetan Tumulus Project“, einem vom Österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds (FWF) finanzierten Forschungsprogramm am Institut für Sozialanthropologie (ISA) der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, registriert wurden. Die Einträge von politischen Distrikten und Wirkungsstätten aus der Zeit des tibetischen Reiches (7.-9. Jh. u. Z.) bilden die relevanten historischen Referenzorte für diese Verbreitungskarte. Diese zeigt eine Tumuluslandschaft von enormer Dichte in dem geographisch relativ kleinen Gebiet von Zentraltibet (Dbus-Gtsang Region), das geographisch, wirtschaftlich und politisch das Kernland des tibetischen Reiches bildete.

The map "The Burial mound Sites of Imperial Central Tibet, map scale 1:800.000" is the result of an inter-disciplinary cooperation project between the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Social Anthropology (ISA) and the university of Vienna, department of Geography and Regional Research (IfGR), Section Cartography and Geoinformation. The map illustrates the position of the burial moundfields in the central Tibetan region that have been registered so far by the ?Tibetan tumulus project? (TTT), an Austrian Science Fund (FWF) financed long-term research conducted at the Austrian Academy of Sciences? Institute for Social Anthropology. The entries of districts and key political sites related to the time of the Tibetan Empire (7th-9th cent. CE) form the relevant historical reference for this distribution map. This reveals a tumulus landscape of enormous concentration in the relatively small geographic area of Central Tibet (Dbus-Gtsang region), largely the ancient Bod, which in geographical, economic and political terms formed the heartland of the Tibetan Empire.0The supplement gives insight in the general topic of the burial mound sites of imperial Central Tibet as well as a short overview of the cartographic map structure and creation. It concludes with a listing that represents an adapted version of the site list given on the TTT website.

This book is the outcome of the work of contributors who participated in the wo- shop “Mapping Different Geographies (MDG)” in February 2010, held in Puchberg am Schneeberg, Austria. This meeting brought together cartographers, artists and geoscientists who research and practice in applications that focus on enhancing o- to-one communication or develop and evaluate methodologies that provide inno- tive methods for sharing information. The main intention of the workshop was to investigate how ‘different’ geographies are being mapped and the possibilities for developing new theories and techniques for information design and transfer based on place or location. So as to communicate these concepts it was important to appreciate the many contrasting meanings of ‘mapping’ that were held by workshop participants. Also, the many (and varied) viewpoints of what different geographies are, were ela- rated upon and discussed. Therefore, as the focus on space and time was embedded within everyone’s felds of investigation, this was addressed during the workshop. This resulted in very engaging discourse, which, in some cases, exposed the restrictions that certain approaches need to consider. For participants, this proved to be most useful, as this allowed them to appreciate the limits and restrictions of their own approach to understanding and representing different geographies. As well, the workshop also was most helpful as a vehicle for demonstrating the common ground of interest held by the very diverse areas of endeavour that the workshop participants work within.
