Describes the settlement pattern and architecture
of present-day Zhol village in Lhasa, by comparing it with an 18th-century < mural painting on the third main floor of the Potala's Red
Palace in the Tshe dpag med Lha khang. Zhol village is situated
on the southern slope of dMar po ri (Red Hill) on which the Potala
palace and monastery is situated. Presents a general historical
background of the area and the Potala building. Discusses the (art)historical
context of the visual content of the mural painting while distinguishing
28 subparts, mostly referring to different buildings. Connects the
information of the mural with the present state of the buildings,
pointing to conversions and alterations. In the third phase of the
Potala Palace Repair Project the 1300 Zhol residents will be moved
to permanent new living quarters in the lHa klu area of Lhasa. Zhol
will be transformed into a preserved tourist district. |

| Annotation: |
Presents new evidence from surface stone tool assemblages
collected in the Chang Tang reserve of northern Tibet at elevations
above 4,500 meter. A number of assemblages contain unique Upper
Palaeolithic blades and bladelets. Microblade cores, blanks and
tools are also found. Foraging groups of humans may have first colonized
the Tibetan plateau during the Upper Pleistocene or early Holocene.
The Chang Tang microblade technologies are likely younger than 15,000
years, and may date as late as 5,000-4,000 B.P. The limited evidence
available indicates that the environmental extremes were met with
flexible and successful behavioural strategies involving high levels
of mobility and reliance on stone tool technologies. |

The
Lukhang
A hidden temple in Tibet
by Ian Baker; photos by Thomas Laird
The wall inscriptions that accompany
many of the specific images are drawn from a 15th century work entitled
Kunsang Gongdu, The Realization of Vast Beneficence, a compendium of
Dzogchen teachings revealed by the Terton, or "treasure revealer",
Pema Lingpa. The Lukhang murals illustrate key episodes in the life
of this great master, a direct ancestor of the Sixth Dalai Lama who
is credited with the Lukhang's original design at the turn of the 17th
century.
