"Ancient Central China provides an up-to-date synthesis of archaeological discoveries
in the upper and middle Yangzi River region of China, including the Three Gorges Dam
reservoir zone. It focuses on the Late Neolithic (late third millennium BC) through
the end of the Bronze Age (late first millennium BC) and considers regional and interregional
cultural relationships in light of anthropological models of landscape. Rowan K. Flad
and Pochan Chen show that centers and peripheries of political, economic, and ritual
activities were not coincident, and that politically peripheral regions such as the
Three Gorges were crucial hubs in interregional economic networks, particularly related
to prehistoric salt production. The book provides detailed discussions of recent archaeological
discoveries and data from the Chengdu Plain, Three Gorges, and Hubei to illustrate
how these various components of regional landscape were configured across Central
China"--
