Tomb Culture of Ancient China

In this program, students will be introduced to selected objects found in ancient Chinese tombs as a way of surveying history from the late Neolithic (3,000 BC) era to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). These objects reveal the contents of ancient tombs and shed light on similar types of items used for daily life. In addition, these tomb goods--ritual vessels, figurines, and musical instruments--represent exemplary workmanship in jade, bronze, and ceramics. Working methods with these materials are also explored.
