Good Old Books: New Archaeological Finds in China

During the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, China's archaeological workers, aided by Chairman Mao's revolutionary line and supported by the broad worker, peasant and soldier masses, have done a great deal of work in preserving and excavating cultural objects.

Their discoveries date from 2,000 years B.C. to the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century.

Among the finds are many new or rare items important in the study of the political, economic, cultural, and military aspects of different dynasties in Chinese history, and the friendly intercourse between China and other lands.
