Sec. v] THE DOMOKO-YAR AND THE REMAINS AT MAZAR-TOGHRAK 209

constant fight with the desert, whatever the supply of water available in the rivers may be. Both conditions were likely to suffer severely during those troubled times, and in no part of the cultivated area would the effect make itself felt so rapidly and completely as in an isolated colony like Dandan-oilik.

It is obvious that a cause which would suffice to explain complete abandonment in the case of Dandân-oilik, might reasonably be held capable also of accounting for the shrinkage which we must assume to have taken place about the same time in the occupied area immediately to the north and east of the present Domoko. But it will be well to remember the lesson which the story of the Domoko dam, as above detailed, can teach us, and to realize that we can never be sure of correctly gauging the cause or causes which• have produced the change in each particular locality, unless definite historical records come within our reach. Neither silent ruins nor scientific conjecture can replace them, and while reliable materials of that kind remain as scanty as now, we can scarcely expect the old sites to give definite answers to all the questions which arise about the physical past of this region.

Doubts

about causes of abandonment elsewhere.
