This volume aims to satisfy a pressing need for an updated account
of Chinese archaeology. It covers an extended time period from the
earliest peopling of China to the unification of the Chinese Empire
some two thousand years ago. The geographical coverage includes the
traditional focus on the Yellow River basin but also covers China's
many other regions. Among the topics covered are the emergence of
agricultural communities; the establishment of a sedentary way of
life; the development of sociopolitical complexity; advances in
lithic technology, ceramics, and metallurgy; and the appearance of
writing, large-scale public works, cities, and states. Particular
emphasis is placed on the great cultural variations that existed
among the different regions and the development of interregional
contacts among those societies.
