Features: Archaeology is a science. In today's society, where there is a pressing need to popularize scientific knowledge, archaeology naturally should also be made accessible. However, despite the abundance of archaeological briefings, reports, and publications, they are not easily accessible to general readers. Archaeology has its own methods, terminology, and standards, and without specialized training, it can be quite challenging for people to make sense of the numerous artifacts, data, and charts. Even those in related fields, such as historians, anthropologists, and art historians, often face significant gaps in understanding. 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 development and of ancient Chinese civilization.
