Tradition und Wandel: Untersuchungen zu Graberfeldern in der Westlichen Han-Zeit (206 v. Chr. bis 9 n. Chr.) (Forschungen zur Archaologie Aussereuropaischer Kulturen)

by Annette Kieser, Margarete Pruch

Just before the unification of the Chinese empire by the first emperor Qin Shihuangdi (221-210 BCE) China is determined by the antagonism of the two culturally very different states of Qin and Chu. With the erection of the empire a time of great political but also cultural changes begins. This work examines various aspects of this change by regarding and analyzing the burial culture of the time.
