The Excavation of Foundation NO.1 at the Luojiachong Site,
Ningxiang, Hunan Province.............................................................................04

Abstract：In 2014 and 2016, Changsha Institute of cultural relics and Archaeology conducted two active archaeological excavations on Luojiachong site in Ningxiang. The No.1 building foundation site (F1) found in the site is a large-scale rectangular three connected building with east-west direction. The underlying soil is used as the foundation, and then the wall foundation trench is excavated on it. There is a slight difference between the East and the West. Among them, the main building in the West is filled with burnt earth, while the auxiliary building in the East is not filled with burnt earth. The discovery of the building site and the excavation of other remains in the site are of great value to the study of the cultural pedigree of the sheshui River Basin and the Xiangjiang River Basin and the cultural exchange in the surrounding areas.

On the Bronze Burials of the Late-Shang Period in the Southern
Taihang Mountains and the Adjacent Areas...........................................58

Abstract：The route from Yinxu to the Xiaohan route along the southern Taihang Mountains was the main channel between Anyang and the Guanzhong area during the late Shang period. This route and bronze burials dating to the late Shang period in the Zhengluo area have been unclear, regarding their date and hierarchy. The burial rites were similar with Anyang, indicating the control of the Shang regime. The variations in comparison with the standard Anyang burials suggest diverse political strategies of the Shang polity in different regions.

On the Production Shift and Technique Origin of the Yaozhou Kiln
in the 10th Century..........................................................................................71

Abstract：M-shaped sagger has long been considered the strongest evidence that the Yaozhou kiln was impacted by the Yue kiln technique. The authors, through a comparison study, point out M-shaped sagger was employed at the Yaozhou kiln in a very different way from the Yue kiln. Furthermore, other high-techniques were mainly innovations out of influences from the northern porcelain tradition. Therefore, the fast development of the Yaozhou kiln in the 10th century should have been out of selective adoptions of the northern porcelain production system. As a result of integration, a technique similar to but also different from that of the Yue kiln had its prosperity and further developments.
