Research topic

My doctoral dissertation focuses on the faunal remains excavated in the last century from the Capital City of Zheng and Han State site, Henan province, China. Through traditional zooarchaeological methods and isotope analysis, I will try to exlpore the exploitation of animal resources (subsistence), feating ritual, strategies of animal breeding and management, and their relationship with urban layout within a well-planed Bronze Age city site in China. Among them, feast will the highlight of my research.
