The Historical and Archaeological Significances of the Mohe Cultural Layers at Utesnoe-4 research-article Alexander Alexeevich Kim, Andrei Victorovich Burdonov, Alexander Leonidovich Mezentsev Central Asiatic Journal, Jahrgang 62 (2019), Ausgabe 2, Seite 287 - 296 The authors of this article aim to demonstrate that the archaeological evidence of Jurchen (Mohe) and Bohai civilisations at the Utesnoe-4 site suggest a great degree of fluidity in the political and economic history of this meeting point of Russia's Far East, China's North-East and northern Korea. Utesnoe, in Ussuriysk district, is a multilayered site with archaeological artefacts which prove the importance of this historical border region - and of archaeology as a historical tool.
