China Before China: Johan Gunnar Andersson, Ding Wenjiang and the Discovery of China's Prehistory

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (17010 ratings)

Description:In recent times the historiography of Chinese prehistoric archaeology has been a hive of activity. Monographs and encyclopedia entries (some of which have been written by the indefatigable Chen Xingcan) have significantly improved our understanding of the complexities of doing archaeology in China during the twentieth Century. Obviously Chinese society itself has been in a ferment of change (political, cultural, social and economic) and this book charts the work of Swedish archaeologist Johan Gunnar Andersson and his Chinese colleagues in the discovery and initial characterization of prehistoric China, against this background. China Before China began as an exhibition at the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities (MFEA) in Stockholm of cultural properties removed from China in 1926. What is striking here is that the MFEA houses the largest collection of artefacts from prehistoric China outside of the Middle Kingdom. A book that traces the origins of this important collection becomes de facto a book about the origins of prehistoric archaeology in China.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
