Summary:

Our understanding of the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220) has long suffered from the paucity of written records due to its relative antiquity. Happily, because of the tremendous amount of archaeological work in recent years, China's soil has begun to yield up its secrets. Here, one of China's principal archaeologists synthesizes the results of the latest [as of 1982] archaeological research from the Han period, deepening our insight into the era. -- Dust jacket.
