The Rise of Civilization in East Asia: The Archaeology of China, Korea & Japan by Gina L. Barnes

This is the first synthesis of East Asian archaeology to be published, and draws on new evidence made available since the 1970's to chart the critical developments that culminated in the emergence of the region in the eighth century as a coherent entity, with a shared religion, state philosophy and bureaucratic structure. The book begins with the first human colonizers of the Far East, and continues through the growth of fishing and farming societies at the end of the Ice Age to the rise of social elites during the Bronze Age, and the emergence of civilization in Shang, Zhou and Han China. 288p with 132 figs and 62 plates. (Thames and Hudson 1993)
