Innermostasia 123 - Ice-loads on camels being de;posited at fort L.K. in the Lop desert by Lou-lan. Stein organized regular military logistics operations to supply his large teams of 50 or more local laborers plus his own permanent team. The camels would be sent in round trips between the nearest spring or stream to collect ice and then bring it to depots near his work sites. Similarly firewood would be collected from dead trees or remains of wooden structures. Food of course was also supplied, but much more easily.
