Scented Trails
Amber has been known since antiquity in Europe, made into pendants, and used for perfume containers in large quantities since the first millennium bce . It is a naturally occurring fossilized tree (a certain kind of northern pine) resin, composed primarily of carbon-hydrogen-oxygen (C 10 H 16 O). It is rather soft (Mohs hardness 2.0–2.5), hence easy to carve, and possesses a resinous luster when polished. Its colours range from transparent to tra…
The Earliest Use of Corundum and Diamond, in Prehistoric China
The majority of prehistoric lithic artefacts were fashioned from rocks and minerals no harder than quartz, and there is no prehistoric evidence for the working of harder materials, such as corundum and diamond. The earliest physical evidence for the use of corundum (ruby, sapphire) is thought to be the abrasive grit recovered from Bronze Age Minoan quartz beads ( c. 1700–1500 bc ), while diamond is thought to have been used no earlier than 500 bc…

Scholars agree that the "southern" culture of China, roughly identifiable with the state of Chu during the period between 700 and 200 B.C.E., is of great importance in the subsequent development of Chinese culture. Early Han artists and writers from the first century B.C.E. were encouraged to preserve "exotic" and "barbaric" Chu images and songs as an antidote to the harsh laws of the Qin. This somewhat disparaging view of the Chu has persisted t…

Music in the Age of Confucius
Chinese archaeologists digging in central China in 1977 unexpectedly uncovered two of the earliest and most extensive groups of musical instruments in the entire ancient world, dating from nearly 2500 years ago. since these percussion, string, and wind instruments were in near-pristine condition - some still playable, others inscribed with musicological information - they provided hitherto unimagined possibilities for th study of music and the hi…
