This volume examines the role of objects in the region north of
early dynastic state centers, at the intersection of Ancient China
and Eurasia, a large area that stretches from Xinjiang to the China
Sea, from c.3000 BCE to the mid-eighth century BCE. This area was a
frontier, an ambiguous space that lay at the margins of direct
political control by the metropolitan states, where local and
colonial ideas and practices were reconstructed transculturally.
These identities were often merged and displayed in material
culture. Types of objects, styles, and iconography were often
hybrids or new to the region, as were the tomb assemblages in which
they were deposited and found. Patrons commissioned objects that
marked a symbolic vision of place and person and that could
mobilize support, legitimize rule, and bind people together.
Through close examination of key artifacts, this book untangles the
considerable changes in political structure and cultural makeup of
ancient Chinese states and their northern neighbors.
