SO, JENNY F. AND EMMA C. BUNKER. Stock ID: 51967 Map, colour and black and white plates, 203pp, index, references, little extremities marking, still very good paperback copy. Quarto. Recently excavated finds from along the northern border on both sides of the Great Wall are enabling scholars to describe a plausible picture of contact, trade and intercultural influence between the pastoral tribes and the urban dwellers who lived along the wall in the first millenium. Taking an unusual point of view, this book emphasises the character of consumerism in these ancient neighboring societies and the effects of commerce and migration on the appearance and production of everyday and luxury goods. The many illustrations depict the impressive range of metalwork excavated. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 51967) ... more |
