China is an ancient civilization with a long history, where scholars have long cherished and studied ancient relics and artifacts. During the Northern Song Dynasty, a specialized field of study-epigraphy and numismatics-was established. The emergence of modern archaeology has a history of a hundred years, especially since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, where through the efforts of several generations of archaeologists, Chinese archaeology is experiencing a golden age, gradually establishing and perfecting its academic system, and continuously achieving shining accomplishments. This book systematically combs the development and achievements of Chinese archaeology over the past hundred years, including an overview of epigraphy and numismatics before the birth of modern archaeology, dividing Chinese archaeology into seven stages: the pre-epigraphy and numismatics period, the gestation period, the birth period, the preliminary development period, the comprehensive development period, the continued development period, and the new development period. It chronicles the dazzling discoveries and research history of Chinese archaeology, with detailed information, rigorous narration, and convenient retrieval. With a hundred years of achievements, it showcases the profound and extensive, and the long and enduring nature of Chinese civilization; with abundant fruits, it witnesses the significant contributions of Chinese archaeology to world civilization.
