"Art and Archaeology in China" documents one of the most acclaimed and well-attended exhibitions in recent years. Over three million visitors saw the flying horse of the Han dynasty and the jade shroud that are now widely and popularly recognized and pictured here, along with many other archaeological treasures.Illustrations depict objects that range in time from 600,000 BC to the end of the Yuan dynasty in the fourteenth century. Many are shown in their archaeological settings. The text by Edmund Capon places them in historical perspective and cultural context, and explains modern China's unusual approach to archaeological preservation and interpretation. While there is much to fascinate archaeologists, historians, and sinologists, the book will appeal to readers and viewers without specialized knowledge, but who have an eye for incomparable beauty.
