Features: Archaeology is a science. In today's urgent call for the popularization of scientific knowledge, archaeology naturally should also be made accessible. However, despite the abundance of excavation briefs, reports, and scholarly works in archaeology, they are not easily accessible to the general reader. Archaeology has its own methods, terminology, and conventions, and without specialized training, it is indeed challenging for people to comprehend the vast array of artifacts, data, and charts. Even those in closely related disciplines, such as historians, anthropologists, and art historians, often face significant barriers. The articles collected in this book are written by archaeologists who have led excavation projects. They vividly describe the excavation process and elaborate on the historical and cultural significance of the themes discovered during the digs, prompting readers to reflect on the developmental context of ancient Chinese civilization.
