Ancient Central China provides an up-to-date synthesis of
archaeological discoveries in the upper and middle Yangzi River
region of China, including the Three Gorges Dam reservoir zone. It
focuses on the Late Neolithic (late third millennium BC) through
the end of the Bronze Age (late first millennium BC) and considers
regional and interregional cultural relationships in light of
anthropological models of landscape. Rowan K. Flad and Pochan Chen
show that centers and peripheries of political, economic and ritual
activities were not coincident, and that politically peripheral
regions such as the Three Gorges were crucial hubs in interregional
economic networks, particularly related to prehistoric salt
production. The book provides detailed discussions of recent
archaeological discoveries and data from the Chengdu Plain, Three
Gorges and Hubei to illustrate how these various components of
regional landscape were configured across Central China.
