SUMMARY:Periphery or Center? Archaeology of the Eastern Han-Liao Period (ca
 . 25-1200 CE) in the Chifeng Region of Inner Mongolia\, China
DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces a new project that is integrating 
 archaeological and historical approaches to provide a diachronic view of s
 ocial\, economic\, and political organization of the Chifeng region of Inn
 er Mongolia from 200-1200 CE.  The Chifeng environment has permitted a mi
 x of pastoralism\, agriculture\, hunting and gathering.  The region was t
 he heartland of the Kitans\, who ranged north of modern China’s Great Wa
 ll and across Mongolia. They established the Liao Empire in 907\, and cont
 rolled a continental scale realm until they were conquered in 1125. Their 
 political and economic influence lasted for centuries across a vast territ
 ory\, which means that better understandings of the Liao period in the Chi
 feng region are vital to the study of Asia’s pre-modern period.  Kitan/
 Liao experiences and achievements are documented in archaeological materia
 ls and surviving historical records\, which offer a rare chance to apply i
 nformation and methods from both fields towards a fuller understanding of 
 a complex socio-economic-political web as it experienced multiple processe
 s of development. This project is examining the processes that contributed
  to the formation of the Kitan Confederation and the Kitan Liao Dynasty th
 rough reanalysis of historical and archaeological material\, along with ne
 w investigations.   Conférencière : Gwen Bennett\, McGill University
