A Study On The Corresponding Relationship Between Ruins And Relics Of Stein's Excavation In Khara-Khoto

Stein's archaeological work on Khara-Khoto is the important link of his third Exploration in Central Asia. In 1914, Sir Aurel Stein, an English archaeologist, went to the ruins of Khara-Khoto, succeeding the Russian archaeologist, Peter Kozlov. He carried out an 8 days' inspection of the historical remains. During that time he inspected the city wall structure, inside and outside the city carefully and unearthed nearly 20 ruins of construction. He also recorded the excavated relics in detail. It is just thanks to Stein's great work that he numbered the unearthed documents and relics in time during the excavation that we can put them back in their original places according to the number. His work made it easy for us to compare and study the relationship between the ruins and relics. While introducing Stein's archaeological work on Khara-Khoto in this paper, the paper make the corresponding relationship between unearthed sites and relics clear by sorting out, analyzing and studying the historical remains. It provides help for a future in-depth research on Khara-Khoto collections which preserved in the British Museum.
