Features: Since 1990, the State Administration of Cultural Relics has commissioned the People's Republic of China Cultural Relics Press and the Chinese Archaeological Society to hold an annual selection of the Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in China. This event has played a significant role in the protection of cultural relics across the country and in archaeological research. In 2002, a collection of 100 archaeological discoveries from 1990 to 1999 was compiled and published by the Cultural Relics Press. Starting in 2000, the annual Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in China have been published and distributed by the Sanlian Bookstore on an annual basis. The criteria for selecting the Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in China must comply with the Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Implementation Rules for the Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China. Each archaeological excavation must undergo approval procedures and obtain approval from the State Administration of Cultural Relics. During the excavation process, archaeological work must be conducted in accordance with the Field Archaeological Work Procedures promulgated by the State Administration of Cultural Relics to ensure the scientific quality of the excavations. The selection criteria for new archaeological discoveries are stipulated in Article 2 of the Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, emphasizing historical, artistic, and scientific value. The term "new discovery" refers to an archaeological finding that, in addition to possessing historical, artistic, and scientific value, also contributes new content and insights to the development of archaeological disciplines in China. We strive to ensure that this series of books highlights the following characteristics: correctness and authority. We make every effort to involve the team leaders of archaeological excavations and the hosts of the excavation sites as the main authors, as they are the most qualified to speak on the discoveries. popularization and vividness. In the planning and drafting process, we explicitly require experts who are accustomed to writing archaeological reports and academic papers to present the findings in the most vivid and lively language possible. functional design in form. We have designed several different reading paths for readers: the discovery and its process; images and their descriptions; background knowledge and related links, etc. Readers can freely enter and exit at any point, or they can thoroughly digest the entire discovery and related knowledge.
