This paper attempts to show the chronological development of pastoral use strategies, pasture division and changes in ownership relations within the Dund Tömört valley (Ulaanhus bag, Bulgan sum, Bayan-Ölgii province, Mongolia), one of two sub-areas within the Ulaanhus bag and containing the highest concentration of spring and summer herding positions of the Altai Uriankhai ethnic group. Reconstructed through oral history, the chronology provides a detailed description of pastoral development from the time of cooperatives (negdel) through the period of privatisation to the recent period of rapid decrease in the number of pastoral households. This microhistorical case study aims to explore the informative potential of oral historical sources in studying the local chronology of pasture use.
