    abstract = "The collapse of the Tibetan Empire and the decentralization of political and religious power was attended by a transformation of historical narrative. In the simplest terms, we can say that a royal narrative form, exemplified by the Bsam yas and Skar cung inscriptions and edicts, gave way to a religious historical (“rise of the doctrine”) narrative form. How this movement from one form to another took place is not clear. Here I wish to query how, exactly, the bar dar period is implicated not only in the movement from royal to religious narrative, but also from chronicle to history. I will examine how recitations and origin tales (e.g., smrang), with their emphasis on the transformative and healing power of story, constitute what one might call “narrative religion,” and further point out how such traditions have informed historical narrative. Ritual narratives and divination prognoses, for example, formed some of the building blocks for transitional forms of historical narrative such as the Old Tibetan Chronicle. Unlike later religious histories, however, the Chronicle was not set within a larger narrative and/or cosmogonical frame. This is not to say that such a frame was lacking at the time of composition, and we have among the Dunhuang manuscripts some well-attested beliefs in a cycle of good ages and bad ages and a similar division of the afterlife. In considering the development of Tibetan narrative history during and after the bar dar, and in particular the emplotment of events within the narrative of the rise of the Dharma (or of Bon), I shall try to identify as markers the most salient expressions of the emerging cosmogonic and narrative frame. In so doing, I hope to contribute both specific points on how Tibetan historical narrative developed against the backdrop of the bar dar, and more general observations on the nature and genre of some of the main narrative forms.",

    abstract = "During the Tibetan empire, ritual burial in tombs was practiced for members of the Tibetan aristocracy throughout Tibet, documented by extant tombs in ‘Phyong rgyas, Lha rtse, and Qinghai. This practice apparently ceased in the aftermath of the Tibetan empire. This presentation will present research in progress on painted panels recovered from tombs in Qinghai. In 2002 Xu Xinguo, director of the Qinghai Archeological Institute, excavated two tombs with several painted coffin panels in Guolimu county. (see Xu Xinguo, “New Discoveries in Qinghai” in China Heritage Newsletter; see Luo Shiping “A research about the drawing on the coffin board of Tubo Located at Guolimu, Haixi, Qinghai province, Wenwu 2006/ 7: 68-82). The principal themes painted on these panels: several hunting scenes of reindeer and wild yak slaughter of yak by archers arrival of foreign envoys ceremonial banquets taking place in tent encampments amorous scenes a commercial caravan of camels Several other painted panels have subsequently been discovered which I will present here. Their comparison is fruitful. We will see there is correspondence in terms of the themes illustrated on the panels, notably the hunt of the yak. In addition to the ceremonial banquet, there are scenes of cooking, musicians, dancers and acrobats; in addition to the ritual sacrifice of the yak, there is possible evidence of human sacrifice. Additional literary and cross-cultural references will be explored in this presentation. These painted panels yield concrete documentation of the mobile habitat of the btsan po and his entourage during the sPu rgyal dynasty. The study of the women and men portrayed on these panels – their activities, weapons, cooking utensils and drinking vessels, costumes, jewelry and face make-up, and the accoutrements of their habitat - yield clues to better understanding of daily life in ancient Tibet while simultaneously relating to rituals and nomad customs prevailing during the 20th century.",
