Fieldwork Prior to the CPAS and the Influence of CPAS on Recent Fieldwork

Summary

This is an abstract from the "The Chengdu Plain Archaeology Survey (2004–2011): Highlights from the Final Report" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This poster examines archaeological fieldwork and discoveries made in the Chengdu Plain prior to the launch of the Chengdu Plain Archaeological Survey (CPAS) project in 2005. We pay particular attention to pre-Qin sites found in key areas of CPAS. Since the 1980s, due to the urban development of the Chengdu City and the promotion of pre-Qin archaeology, a large number of such sites have been discovered. We describe the survey and excavation methods used in the fieldwork and investigate the characteristics and spatial distribution of these sites. We then discuss how post-CPAS archaeological fieldwork has been influenced by CPAS, and enumerate findings from systematic across the Chengdu Plain and western mountains.
