About This Item
Edinburgh.: Edinburgh U.P.. 1971.. Maps, black and white illustrations, xv + 187pp + black and white photographic plates, index, dustjacket little soiled, head and tail of spine little chipped, few small closed tears, overall good, internally clean. "This book attempts to illustrate the variety and complexity of traditions which are combined in the early civilization of China. The quest after the origins or the farther distribution of cultural traits revealed by archaeological research in China often leads far into the heart of Asia. In the basic arts of life, in technology and in expressive art the commerce between China and the western and inner regions of Asia was a two-way traffic, and this shows China to have been in fundamental respects no more isolated from the general advance of civilization in the ancient world than were some of the more familiar civilizations in Western Asia." Chapters cover the neolithic and bronze ages of China itself, steppe bronze-age culture, technology, the extreme eastern provinces. .
