We strive to ensure that this series of books highlights the following characteristics:
Accuracy and authority. We make every effort to have the archaeological team leaders and site supervisors of each discovery serve as the main authors, as they are the most qualified to speak on the findings.
Accessibility and vividness. In the planning and manuscript acquisition process, we explicitly require experts who are accustomed to writing archaeological reports and academic papers to present the content in as vivid and lively language as possible.
Format-oriented service. We have designed several different reading paths for readers: the discovery and its process; images and captions; background knowledge and related links, etc. Readers can freely enter and exit at any point or thoroughly digest the entire discovery and related knowledge.
