Archives Description：

This project digitizes the archaeological data and related information housed in the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. 1. Chinese archaeological data which were collected before 1949 including the Lung-shan culture area in Shantung Province, other Neolithic sites around China, late Shang civilization of Anyang, Western Chou Site of Hsin-ts'un cemetery in Chun-hsien, Honan, Eastern Chou cemeteries of Shan-piao-chen and Liu-li-ko. These excavations were conducted by the first generation of Chinese archaeologists in the early part of the 20th century. Certain finds such as Shang Royal Cemetery are unique and were never found again during later archaeological endeavors. 2. Taiwan archaeological data which were collected after 1949 including Shih-san-hang site in Taipei County, sites located in the middle of Taiwan which were explored by researchers working on an interdisciplinary project in the Cho-Shui and Ta-tu River Valleys (also including ongoing archaeological projects in this area), as well as important sites in the southern and eastern part of Taiwan.. Excavations after 1949 provide indispensable information about many aspects of prehistorical life as well as early history and culture in Taiwan. Besides database, online games and websites based on the content of digitized archaeological data have also been developed.
