Copper Mining in Western Zhou China: New Archaeological Evidence from Hubei
This article reviews new archaeological evidence of copper mining in Hubei province and its importance to the Western Zhou economy. It focuses on the social dimensions of copper production, showing that the local societies in southeastern Hubei shared distinctive material culture and technological knowledge and participated in well-organized local and interregional economic networks. This often-neglected social perspective broadens our understanding of the Bronze Age economies in China.
期刊介绍:
Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries.
Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display.
Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
