Abstract
This report concerns research on the architectural history of Salar households conducted between 2004 and 2006. The Salars are an Oghuz-Turkic people who in the 13th century migrated with Gengis Khan's troops from the Samarkand area to northern Tibet. The present project compared house construction styles and the use of living space in two Salar communities: a larger community in northern Tibet (today Qinghai province) and a smaller community in Yil/Ghulja (today the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region).
