Prehistoric Japan: New Perspectives on Insular East AsiaUniversity of Hawaii Press, 01.11.1996 - 320 Seiten In the past few years, there has been a growing appreciation by Western scholars of the vast scale, great achievements, and methodological originality of Japanese archaeologists. However, an understanding of the results of their work has been hampered in the West by a lack of up-to-date and authoritative texts in English. This book provides Western readers for the first time with a uniquely East Asian perspective of Japanese archaeology. |
