Archaeology of Craft Production at the Shang Capital Anyang

Yung-ti Li

This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. Anyang, the last capital of the Shang dynasty (ca. 1200 to 1000 BCE), is one of the most important Bronze Age sites in China. While it is known for the inscribed oracle bones and the royal cemetery, the site also provides invaluable information on craft production in Bronze Age China.
