Bio/Research
Yung-ti Li’s research interests focus on the archeology of Bronze Age China, including topics in craft specialization and production, especially section-mold casting technology, and the rise of social complexity, inter-regional interaction, and state formation in ancient China. His current work encompasses the study of state-sponsored craft production at Anyang of the Shang period, and bronze production at Houma of the Eastern Zhou period. He is currently running a field project in the Linfen Basin, Shanxi, China, which aims to investigate interaction between the local polities and the Shang capital at Anyang, Henan. Other initiatives include lab research on bone, lithic and bronze workshop remains from Anyang and other Bronze Age sites, and research on archaeological materials excavated in the 1930s by the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan.
