SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series: “From Gansu to Stockholm: Combining Excavations and Collections to Explore Interregional Interactions in Neolithic Northwestern China”
DESCRIPTION:Early China Seminar Lecture Series \nTitle: “From Gansu to Stockholm: Combining Excavations and Collections to Explore Interregional Interactions in Neolithic Northwestern China”\nSpeaker: Andrew Womack\, Furman University\nTime: October 21\, 2022 (4:30-6:30 PM EST)\nVenue: Faculty House\n*Please check the announcement board in the first floor lobby for room information.\n**Please see Seminar Safety Guidelines for attendance information. \nMore than 2000 years before the development of the historical Silk Road trade routes\, people living in what is now northwestern China were participating in networks that circulated goods and technologies between the Central Asian steppe and eastern China. These included domesticates such as wheat\, barley\, sheep\, and cattle\, as well as technologies including bronze working\, jade carving\, and pyromantic divination. However\, despite more than 100 years of archaeological work in this region\, how and why these networks were formed and functioned on a local scale has remained under-investigated. This talk will draw on two sources for mapping potential interactions: recent petrographic analysis of ceramic vessels from the Tao River Valley of Gansu Province and new work with collections from across northwestern China in the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm\, Sweden. These analyses demonstrate that localized exchange was occurring on a regular basis between settlements in the Tao River Valley\, and potentially across a much wider region. It will also address the benefits and challenges of working with both recently excavated material as well as historic collections. \nFor more information and to register\, please visit this page. \n
