Bells of the Bronze Age Makeup

ANT 207

 

We watched the video “Bells of the Bronze Age” in class on Monday, March 1.  We did not do an exercise for points, but did have an in-class group discussion, and if you missed the video you should watch it.  It can be found on reserve at the library under call # GN778.32.C5 D374 1995—only watch the episode on Warring States China.  Then think about this question:

 

Describe Chinese views of power and ritual.  How were ancestors important?  How does bronze relate to these views?
