Loess Highland societies during the Yinxu period (1300–1050 BC)
Recent research is highlighting the archaeological significance of the Loess Highland of north-central China. Here, the authors report on some of the findings from Zhaigou, in Shaanxi Province, where excavations have so far revealed monumental architecture, elite burials and evidence of craft production, indicating marked social stratification and networks of interaction with the Shang capital of Anyang on the Central Plain. Rather than an extens…
A study on the subsistence strategy of the Qingjian Xinzhuang site in Northern Shaanxi region during the late Shang period
Horse management in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty
Early use and production of iron in the northern Shaanxi
Yuejiazhuang is a cemetery site of Qin people in the Northern Shaanxi, China, and it is dated to the mid‐late Warring States Period. Ninety‐two iron objects were excavated from the Yuejiazhuang cemetery site, which provide an opportunity to understand the use and production of iron in the Northern Shaanxi. The metallurgical and statistical study has revealed that bloomery iron, cast iron, and steel made from cast iron were adopted in the Northern…
Communication and interaction between Central and Northern China
Beauty and chemistry
Lead white is one of the most important pigments in human history, and its synthesis has promoted the development of art and cosmetics. The corrosion approach to synthesize lead white appeared in Greece during the fourth century BCE, and since then lead white has been produced on a large-scale and widely used in painting and cosmetics across Europe. However, when and how synthetic lead white appeared in east Eurasia and whether it was also involv…
Feeding Shimao
Renewed excavations at Shimao, the largest stone walled urban site in northern China dating to around 4200–3700 BP, have focused on Shimao’s unusual architecture and material culture, but there remains much to be known about the subsistence system and agricultural strategies the inhabitants employed around this site. In this paper we provide new archaeobotanical and isotopic evidence for the agricultural systems and strategies that supported Shim…
