New book presents Mawangdui tomb findings in easy-to-understand narrative

A new landmark publication is bringing the fruitful archaeological achievements from the excavation of the world-famous Mawangdui, an ancient Chinese tomb complex from the Western Han Dynasty (206BC-AD25), out of academic archives and into the hands of general readers. The publishing of Archaeological Report for Everyone: The Mawangdui Han Tombs of Changsha - led by Yu Yanjiao, one of the most influential Chinese archaeologists in contemporary Mawangdui research - offers the first popularized, visually enriched archaeological report dedicated to the iconic tomb site from over 2,000 years ago.
