State Formation in Early China: Debates in Archaeology

Autor Li Liu, Xingcan Chen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 oct 2003
This important new study makes use of an interdisciplinary approach to challenge traditional theories of state formation in China and promote debate on early Chinese history. Analysing data from archaeology, geology, cultural geography, ethnohistory and ancient texts, the authors show how the procurement of key external resources - especially metal and salt - drove the dynamics of state formation in early China in the period 1800-1400 BC.
