Archaeological work here has been limited to studying mortuary practices and the association of material styles with historically mentioned groups. The Siwa culture 寺洼 (1400-700 BCE), inhabiting modern day Gansu, has been identified as the Qiang 羌 people -- prized captives who were sacrificed by the Shang -- or the Rong 戎 and Di 狄tribes, the marauding barbarian hoards who toppled the Western Zhou dynasty.No publisher2018/01/11 11:15:00 GMT-5EventISAW Announces 2017-18 Visiting Research Scholars
