THE BURIAL RECORD OF PREHISTORIC LIANGSHAN IN S...

This book proposes a new model and scheme of analysis for complex burial material and applies
it to the prehistoric archaeological record of the Liangshan region in Southwest China that
other archaeologists have commonly given a wide berth  regarding it as too patchy  too
inhomogeneous  and overall too unwieldy to work with.The model treats burials as composite
objects  considering the various elements separately in their respective life histories. The
application of this approach to the rich and diverse archaeological record of the Liangshan
region serves as a test of this new form of analysis.This volume thus pursues two main aims: to
advance the understanding of the archaeology of the immediate study area which has been little
examined  and to present and test a new scheme of analysis that can be applied to other bodies
of material.
