I. Setting the stage -- pt. II. Political and cultural topographies -- pt. III. Topographies of economic activity and ritual. 330 $aAncient Central China provides an up-to-date synthesis of archaeological discoveries in the upper and middle Yangzi River region of China, including the Three Gorges Dam reservoir zone. It focuses on the Late Neolithic (late third millennium BC) through the end of the Bronze Age (late first millennium BC) and considers regional and interregional cultural relationships in light of anthropological models of landscape. Rowan K. Flad and Pochan Chen show that centers and peripheries of political, economic and ritual activities were not coincident, and that politically peripheral regions such as the Three Gorges were crucial hubs in interregional economic networks, particularly related to prehistoric salt production. The book provides detailed discussions of recent archaeological discoveries and data from the Chengdu Plain, Three Gorges and Hubei to illustrate how these various components of regional landscape were configured across Central China. 410 0$aCase studies in early societies. 606 $aNeolithic period$zChina$zYangtze River Region 606 $aBronze age$zChina$zYangtze River Region 606 $aAntiquities, Prehistoric$zChina$zYangtze River Region 607 $aYangtze River Region (China)$xAntiquities 607 $aYangtze River Region (China)$xCivilization 615 0$aNeolithic period 615 0$aBronze age 615 0$aAntiquities, Prehistoric 676 $a931 700 $aFlad$b Rowan K.$01027869 702 $aChen$b Pochan$f1973- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453092203321 996 $aAncient Central China$92443571 997 $aUNINA
