The ribosome is a universal molecular machinery of translation comprising three kinds of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and many ribosomal proteins (r-proteins). The functional domains of the ribosome, which are involved in the decoding of genetic information in messenger RNA and formation of peptide bonds, consist entirely of rRNAs (reviewed in Ramakrishnan, 2002). As rRNAs are subjected to strong selective pressure and are highly conserved, they have been used as a reference molecule in phylogeny. In contrast, r-proteins show more diversity in their sequences and composition, compared to rRNAs. Recent development of genomics and proteomics has enabled an examination of r-protein genes in prokaryotic, eukaryotic and organelle genomes. A recent comprehensive study of ribosomal genes in completed genomes revealed 57 r-protein families in the bacterial domain, 68 in the archaeal domain and 78 in the eukaryotic domain (Lecompte et al., 2002). Many rprotein families are common to archaeal and euk...

This study approaches four cemeteries in Central Mongolia, examines their internal organization, classifies the different graves, and arrives at a solid chronological division into three phases. We propose a new dating framework for the Bronze and Iron Ages in Central Mongolia.
