The Chinese Jade Age
View through CrossRef
Recent and abundant archaeological discoveries of Neolithic jade in China have prompted Chinese scholars and archaeologists alike to discuss the concept of the Jade Age as a way to better understand local prehistoric development. This concept, originally proposed in a 2000-years-old text, would add an extra ‘Age’ to the Western Three Age system. While this move has not received much positive attention in the West, archaeological and technological evidence from China shows that the Jade Age may be a useful analytical category.
