Staple Economies and Social Integration in Northeast China

Subtitle: 
Regional Organization in Zhangwu, Liaoning, China
Presenter: 
James Williams, Doctoral Candidate in Anthropology
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Fri, 01/24/2014 - 15:30

According to a number of scholars, sedentary farmers left their farms to take up full time specialized mobile herding in Northeast China around 1200 BCE. The evidence for this shift is primarily art historical and from received histories. However, there is a lack of direct archaeological data in the region which can support this assertion.
