With Connectivity, Imperialism, and the Han Iron Industry, Lam
Wengcheong combines archaeological and historical analyses to piece
together fragmentary evidence and to refocus our gaze onto the
economic and political mechanism that gave birth to an iron
industry unique in the ancient world. Guiding readers through the
macroscopic social settings of the iron industry and distribution
patterns of iron implements to the microscopic organization of
workplace and workers' foodways, Lam explores how iron production
and transportation processes intersected with the transformation of
the Han capital region in the Guanzhong basin. Using various lines
of evidence of iron production in Guanzhong and its connection with
other production centers, this book shows how the production and
transportation of iron at various scales played a significant role
in generating the "connectivity" between various parts of the
Western Han empire, and casts new light on the workings of the
economic system in imperial China. Connectivity, Imperialism, and
the Han Iron Industry will appeal to anyone interested in Chinese
archaeology, the history of the Han empire, and the history of
science and engineering in ancient China, as well as to scholars
working on the comparative study of ancient imperialism, market
exchange, and economic history.
