📱 eBook en inglés ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE CHINESE BRONZE AGE

Archaeology of the Chinese Bronze Age is a synthesis of recent Chinese archaeological work on the second millennium BCE--the period associated with Chinas first dynasties and East Asias first "states." With a focus on early Chinas great metropolitan centers in the Central Plains and their hinterlands, this work attempts to contextualize them within their wider zones of interaction from the Yangtze to the edge of the Mongolian steppe, and from the Yellow Sea to the Tibetan plateau and the Gansu corridor. Analyzing the complexity of early Chinese culture history, and the variety and development of its urban formations, Roderick Campbell explores East Asias divergent developmental paths and re-examines its deep past to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Chinas Early Bronze Age.
