David Crockett Graham's Ethnological and Archaeological Works is a collection of ethnological (cultural anthropology) and archaeological works by the American scholar David Crockett Graham (Ge Weihan). These works are his older writings from before the 1950s, representing the research level of these two disciplines at that time, with their scope primarily focused on Sichuan. To fully inherit and draw upon the research achievements of predecessors, as early as 1973, the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics Management Committee (Sichuan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology) organized scholars to translate and internally publish Graham's representative works on archaeology in Sichuan. Shortly after, the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Ethnic Studies also organized scholars to translate and internally publish some of Graham's representative works on ethnology in Sichuan. To allow more scholars to understand Graham's works, we have now selected his representative works in these two fields and formally published them. At the end of the book, there is also included a biographical account of Graham written by Susan R. Brown (USA) and an index of the Journal of the West China Borderland Research Society, translated and compiled by Zhou Shurong of the Sichuan University Museum, for reference by readers.
