Features: "Discovering China: 100 Important Archaeological Discoveries in 2005" is a selection of archaeological findings reported by the People's Republic of China Cultural Relics News Agency during 2005. In recent years, archaeological excavation projects across the country have numbered around a thousand each year, but few excavation reports are formally published, and many findings remain unpublished long after the excavations conclude, failing to fulfill their intended role, even turning scientific excavations into acts of scientific destruction. The People's Republic of China Cultural Relics News Agency has always sought to promote improvements in this situation. Therefore, the editorial department has established a policy of publishing all archaeological discovery information it can receive and requiring the field leaders of excavations to personally contribute the articles. This book is edited by the People's Republic of China Cultural Relics News Agency, with each significant archaeological discovery included written by the field leader themselves. The information is authoritative, accurate, timely, providing professionals with convenient access to comprehensive research materials and enabling numerous cultural relic and archaeology enthusiasts to learn about new archaeological findings, their value, and significance.
