    Abstract (may include machine translation)

    The Khitan Landscapes in Mongolia 2017-2023 project is aimed to conduct research on landscape archaeology at 10th-12th century Khitan period sites in Mongolia, with special interest on the ruins of Khar Bukh Balgas. The main goal of the project is the understanding of the inner structure of the urban settlements of the Khitan Empire and the relationships between the nomadic lifestyle and the towns of the Liao Empire, which once occupied the area of China and a large part of present day Mongolia. A short history of the Liao Empire and the first results of the project were presented in the Summer 2017 issue of Hungarian Archaeology.1 The KHI-LAND team members planned two field seasons for 2018 the first of which took place in May 2018. Here we summarize the first results of this field season, presenting a short introduction to the archaeological sites investigated during the field work and the archaeological heritage issues we faced in connection with these sites
