Online Public Access Catalogue for the Digital Archives of Archaeological Data (Academia Sinica)Type Collection Collection Identifier c0504 Alternative Title
Description There are two sets of archaeological data and related information housed in Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. Archaeological data collected before 1949 were recovered from Mainland China. Archaeological data collected after 1949 are composed of Taiwan materials. 1. Chinese Archaeology Artifacts, fieldnotes, maps, photos and records obtained from excavation and surveys in Mainland China including Lung-shan culture area n Shantung Province, other Neolithic sites around China, late Shang civilization of Anyang, Western Chou Site of Hsin-ts'un cemetery in Chün- sien, Honan, Eastern Chou cemeteries of Shan-piao-chen and Liu-li-ko, as well as acquisition from purchase and donation of Chinese archaeological objects. 2. Taiwan Archaeology Artifacts, fieldnotes, maps, photos and records obtained from Taiwan archaeological sites including Shih-san-hang site in Taipei County, Chu-ping and Dong-pu Ti-Yi-Lin sites in central mountainous region of Taiwan, as well as sites explored by an interdisciplinary project in Cho-Shui and Ta-tu River Valleys. Excavations in mainland sites listed were conducted by the first generation of Chinese archaeologists in the early part of the 20th century. Certain finds such as Shang Royal Cemetery are unique that were never found again by later archaeological endeavor. Excavations after 1949 on the island provide indispensable information about many aspects of prehistoric as well as early historical Taiwan. In addition, artifacts collected are mostly with archaeological context – a distinguishing characteristic from ordinary museum art pieces. In addition to the historical, scientific, artistic values of the artifact itself, contextual information can offer more information about the culture and human behavior of ancient society. Size
