Main archaeological articles and books from China that have been published from 1949 through 1965 are translated and compiled in bibliographic form. Because there is a lack of materials available to Western scholars of Chinese studies, the authors see these items as necessary resources for the understanding of Chinese civilization and the development of world civilization even though most of them are written in Chinese. The index covers Chinese civilization from prehistoric times to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) It is arranged chronologically by time period and dynasty, with subdivisions by geopolitical area. For each subdivision, the entries are arranged according to the publication date. To facilitate use of the index, a chart showing the chronology of Chinese civilization, a list of the geopolitical subdivisions of China, and a map that shows location of subdivisions and the main rivers and cities are provided.
