Welcome to the 7th Worldwide Conference of the Society for East Asian Archaeology and thank you very much for coming. The worldwide conferences of the Society for East Asian Archaeology have always presented a great forum for academic exchange and personal interaction in East Asian archaeology. The 7th Conference, hosted by Harvard and Boston University, now returns to the USA for the first time since the inaugural meeting was held in Hawaii in 1996. The SEAA worldwide conferences, initially held every four years, are now held every two years in order to accommodate the rapid development and dramatic expansion of our field and the needs of our society membership. For SEAA7, there are more than 300 participants from diverse countries, and the presented papers are rich with new discoveries and innovative ideas as well as enthusiasm and dedication to high ideals. This gathering of international scholars will certainly promote more active dialog, participation, and interaction among archaeologists, researchers, students, and members of the general public who are interested in the archaeology and related academic fields of China, Korea, Japan, and adjacent regions. This conference is made possible by the commitment and effort of many institutions and individuals. I am really grateful for the enormous effort made by members of the conference organizing committee, including Professor Rowan Flad of Harvard, Professor Robert Murowchick of Boston University, SEAA Vice President Dr. Francis Allard, and SEAA Secretary Dr. Barbara Seyock. I also would like to recognize SEAA Treasurer Dr. Sascha Priewe and SEAA Webmaster Michael Moos for their great efforts in the preparation of this conference. I would like to express my deep gratitude as well to Harvard University and Boston University, which have provided generous financial and institutional support for this important conference. On behalf of the executive board of the Society for East Asian Archaeology, I again extend my warmest wishes to all participants and hope that you will be able to share new information about ongoing research projects with old and new friends, to keep abreast of the most recent advances in the field, and to have a chance to enjoy a beautiful early summer season in New England. So now let us enjoy this scholarly festival for the exchange of research ideas and expansion of professional collaborative opportunities and personal interaction with colleagues. I am excited to have you here and welcome indeed! Yangjin Pak, Ph.D. President Society for East Asian Archaeology 5 Welcome to SEAA7 ! The seventh international gathering of archaeologists focusing on East Asian archaeology returns to the United States for the first time since the inaugural meeting in Hawaii in 1996, and boy have we grown! This year we have approximately 300 presentations and posters scheduled over four days and are delighted you can join us. The international conferences of the SEAA were established 20 years ago as an English language forum for exchanging ideas about all topics related to the archaeology of East Asia. We are proud to carry on the tradition of this conference here in the historic cities of Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, and hope to have as successful an event as the 6th International Conference in Ulaanbaatar in 2014. The participants in this SEAA Conference come from all around the world, representing at least a dozen countries where scholars work on the investigation of archaeological material from China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, and adjacent regions. The range of talks presented this year continues to expand both geographically and temporally relative to previous conferences. We hope this marks a continuing expansion of the scope of the SEAA. This conference was made possible by the financial support from a number of sources, listed on page 3 of the program book, as well as the tireless efforts of the SEAA officers and the local organizing committee. All of these individuals have contributed in important ways to the organizing of the conference and the compilation of this program book. Special thanks should be directed to the extraordinary efforts of Sascha Priewe and Barbara Seyock in their processing of membership and conference registrations, Katherine Brunson and Kaoru Ueda in their organizing of housing, conference rooms, the post-conference tours and other aspects of the conference, and Christopher Kim and Joshua Wright for their work on the conference program. We urge you to take advantage of not only the conference offerings of paper presentations and posters, but also the libraries, museums, historical sites, and other resources and walking tours available in the areas around Harvard and Boston Universities. A few of these are listed in the next few pages, and others are described in the additional information in your welcome packet.

Chinese techniques sharply contrasted with the Middle Eastern and European bronze development that relied on annealing, cold working and hammering. The bronze alloys were difficult to shape by hammering due to the alloy combination of the natural ores found in China. Furthermore, China had an abundance of clay and loess materials and the Chinese had spent the Neolithic period working with and mastering clay, to the point that it has been said that bronze casting was made possible only because the bronze makers had access to superior ceramic technology.

  • Originally, the Descendants of Hua Xia Were Not the Descendants of Yan Huang
    E-Leader Brno 2019 Originally, the Descendants of Hua Xia were not the Descendants of Yan Huang Soleilmavis Liu, Activist Peacepink, Yantai, Shandong, China Many Chinese people claimed that they are descendants of Yan Huang, while claiming that they are descendants of Hua Xia. (Yan refers to Yan Di, Huang refers to Huang Di and Xia refers to the Xia Dynasty). Are these true or false? We will find out from Shanhaijing ’s records and modern archaeological discoveries. Abstract Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas ) records many ancient groups of people in Neolithic China. The five biggest were: Yan Di, Huang Di, Zhuan Xu, Di Jun and Shao Hao. These were not only the names of groups, but also the names of individuals, who were regarded by many groups as common male ancestors. These groups first lived in the Pamirs Plateau, soon gathered in the north of the Tibetan Plateau and west of the Qinghai Lake and learned from each other advanced sciences and technologies, later spread out to other places of China and built their unique ancient cultures during the Neolithic Age. The Yan Di’s offspring spread out to the west of the Taklamakan Desert;The Huang Di’s offspring spread out to the north of the Chishui River, Tianshan Mountains and further northern and northeastern areas;The Di Jun’s and Shao Hao’s offspring spread out to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, where the Di Jun’s offspring lived in the west of the Shao Hao’s territories, which were near the sea or in the Shandong Peninsula.Modern archaeological discoveries have revealed the authenticity of Shanhaijing ’s records.

  • Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China
    JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY 15, 237±288 (1996) ARTICLE NO. 0010 Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China LI LIU School of Archaeology, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Received June 12, 1995; revision received May 17, 1996; accepted May 26, 1996 In the third millennium B.C., the Longshan culture in the Central Plains of northern China was the crucial matrix in which the ®rst states evolved from the basis of earlier Neolithic societies. By adopting the theoretical concept of the chiefdom and by employing the methods of settlement archaeology, especially regional settlement hierarchy and rank-size analysis, this paper introduces a new approach to research on the Longshan culture and to inquiring about the development of the early states in China. Three models of regional settlement pattern correlating to different types of chiefdom systems are identi®ed. These are: (1) the centripetal regional system in circumscribed regions representing the most complex chiefdom organizations, (2) the centrifugal regional system in semi-circumscribed regions indicating less integrated chiefdom organization, and (3) the decentral- ized regional system in noncircumscribed regions implying competing and the least complex chief- dom organizations. Both external and internal factors, including geographical condition, climatic ¯uctuation, Yellow River's changing course, population movement, and intergroup con¯ict, played important roles in the development of complex societies in the Longshan culture. As in many cultures in other parts of the world, the early states in China emerged from a system of competing chiefdoms, which was characterized by intensive intergroup con¯ict and frequent shifting of political centers.
