Representing Archaeology
China has seen an explosion in public interest in archaeology over the past decade, fuelled less by archaeologists’ own attempts to engage with non-specialist audiences and more by the slew of films and shows in the tomb robbing genre. Originating with the hugely successful web novel Ghost Blows Out the Light, the genre’s popularity is attributed to the combination of action, mystery, and horror elements. Archaeologists are concerned that tomb ro…
Xiongnu Rulers’ Residences in the Historical Records of the Han Dynasty
Han Dynasty chroniclers recorded valuable information about key settlements in the Xiongnu Empire, specifically those where the residence of the Chanyu was located. Though the first nomadic empire’s political centre is linked to theories of early urbanisation in the eastern steppe, detailed examination of the historiographical terminology is lacking. We analyse the terminology to assess how settlements were perceived through the lens of Han cultu…
A mixed methods study investigating alexithymia, experiential avoidance, and psychological distress
Previous research suggests that experiential avoidance mediates the relationship between alexithymia and psychological distress. However, concerns persist regarding the validity of: 1) mediation analyses in cross-sectional samples, 2) common measures of alexithymia and experiential avoidance, and 3) solely quantitative approaches to studying alexithymic individuals. This study addresses these gaps using a sequential explanatory methodology compri…
Exploring Complexity in Bronze Age Exchange Networks by Revisiting the Bronze Mirrors of Central Asia and China
The ever-growing body of research on trans-Eurasian exchange during the third–first millennium bce continues to improve understanding of mechanisms that facilitated the movement of objects, materials, ideas, and even people. However, whether bronze mirrors in Central Asia and China represent the exchange of technological knowledge or movement of the objects themselves remains unresolved, as researchers require extensive knowledge of huge quantiti…
Obsidian Vessels and Eye Inlays from Naqada and Abydos in the Collection of the Garstang Museum, Liverpool, UK
Nine unpublished obsidian artefacts (one cosmetics jar, two vessel fragments, and six eye inlays) from the Garstang Museum collection are presented, with the aim of patching gaps in the current record concerning their excavation contexts and material properties, which were presumably detailed in John Garstang’s now-lost excavation report/notes. The objects date to the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom periods, and five objects were matched to those …
Provenance and distribution networks of the earliest bronze in the Maritime Territory (Primorye), Russian Far East
Metal artifacts from the Paleometal Epoch (ca. 1100 BC–400 AD) of the Primorye (Russian Far East) have shed new light on the introduction of the earliest bronzes into the Pacific coastal areas of prehistoric Eurasia. However, little is known about raw material circulation and the role of metal in the context of inter-regional exchange. This paper investigates 12 copper artifacts from major Paleometal settlements using alloy composition, trace ele…
