Yangshao in the Past and Present

Yangshao in the Past and Present: the Yangshao Culture Project Conference, Dec 2024

Yangshao in the Past and Present: the Yangshao Culture Project Conference, Dec 2024

Description

The conference Yangshao in the Past and Present showcases research on the Yangshao Culture from the disciplines of archaeology and cultural heritage, presented by speakers from the UK, China, Europe, and the USA. The Yangshao ‘Culture’, a remarkable middle Neolithic cultural complex in the Yellow River Valley lasting from 7000 to 4500 BP, provides a wealth of insightful details about the developments of Neolithic ways of life, including different pathways towards cultural and social complexity.  With the many presentations from specialists researching different dimensions of the Yangshao, we hope the conference will generate not just interest but also retrospection and discussions.  

The conference will be presented in English and Chinese, and will be fully accessible in both languages.
