Over a period of about 10,000 years, it follows evolutionary trajectories of society from the last Palaeolithic hunting-gathering groups, through Neolithic farming villages and on to the Bronze Age Shang dynasty in the latter half of the second millennium BC. Li Liu and Xingcan Chen demonstrate that sociopolitical evolution was multicentric and shaped by inter-polity factionalism and competition, as well as by the many material technologies introduced from other parts of the world. The book illustrates how ancient Chinese societies were transformed during this period from simple to complex, tribal to urban, and preliterate to literate. 410 0$aCambridge world archaeology. 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$zChina 606 $aArchaeology$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAntiquities, Prehistoric$zChina 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples 615 0$aArchaeology$xHistory 615 0$aAntiquities, Prehistoric 676 $a931 686 $aSOC003000$2bisacsh 700 $aLiu$b Li$f1953 December 12-$01306781 702 $aChen$b Xingcan 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790239003321 996 $aThe archaeology of China$93794478 997 $aUNINA
