Chinese archaeology

Chinese archaeology is the study of ancient China's material remains, including artifacts, structures, and landscapes, to understand its history and culture. This field examines sites such as the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, and ancient cities, revealing insights into early civilizations, dynasties, and societal developments. Excavations often uncover pottery, tools, and burial practices, helping scholars interpret social structures, trade, and daily life. Advances in technology, like remote sensing and DNA analysis, have enhanced research, allowing for a deeper comprehension of China’s vast and rich archaeological heritage that spans thousands of years.
