The seventeen contributors to this interdisciplinary volume bring to the study of early China the analytical concerns of archaeology, art history, botany, climatology, cultural and physical anthropology, ethnography, epigraphy, linguistics, metallurgy, and political and social history. Readers interested in such topics as the origin of rice or millet agriculture, the origin of writing, the nature of the tribe, and the processes of state formation will find much of value here. They will find, too, major hypotheses about the cultural importance of ecogeographical zones in China, Neolithic interaction between the east coast and Central Plains, the remarkable homogeneity of early Chinese crania, and the links between the Hsia, Shang, and Chou dynasties. Relying on recently published arcaheological evidence and the insights gained from carton-14 and thermoluminescent datings, the authors provide original and significant interpretations of the nature of Chinese civilization in its formative stage and the processes by which civilizations form. Since there is little doubt that the complex of culture traits which defines Chinese civilization in the second and first millennia B.C. developed from a Chinese Neolithic stage, the origin of Chinese civilization is worth studying not only in its own right but as an instance of the indigenous development of civilizations in general. This volume will appeal to all who are interested in the genesis of civilization and the transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age ; it summarizes the state of present knowledge about China and suggests research strategies and hypotheses for the future.
