China Daily  

Archaeologists carry the fossil of a human skull unearthed at Xuetangliangzi, Hubei province. Archaeology: Funerary relics show ethnic unity The Yinxu Ruins, the 3,300-year-old remains of what was once the capital of the late Shang Dynasty, have been included in China's top 10 list of archaeological finds of 2022. According to the administration, the list honored 10 outstanding examples of the nearly 1,700 archaeological projects that were carried out nationwide last year. Yinxu was the first independent excavation project carried out by Chinese academics almost a century ago and it now holds a sacred place in the annals of China's archaeological history. Sacrificial pits and trenches surrounding the royal graves discovered at Yinxu last year have reshaped people's understanding of Shang burial customs and the grand picture of the dynasty as a whole, according to archaeologists.
