Author(s): Koji Mizoguchi; Junko Uchida

Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The role played by the remembrance of certain events and/or individuals in the reproduction of social order and power relations has been investigated from various social archaeological perspectives. One of the important issues emerging out of this developing research area is how a specific mode of such remembrance is related to a specific mode of social/power relations and to the specific problem(s) of their reproduction. By examining how different manners of remembrance were implemented at the cemetery area of the Xiao-tun Late Shang palace site, Anyang-Yinxu, this paper will reveal how different social problems led to the emergence of different modes of remembrance and memorialization of the ancestral kings.
