This book addresses the relationship between geography and political pow er in the context of the crisis and fall of the Western Zhou. Exploring the latest archaeological discoveries, it shows how inscribed bronze vessels can be used to reveal changes in political space, and how archaeology, history and geography can work together to produce a coherent understanding of the Bronze Age past. Embracing an interdisciplinary approach and enhanced by full coverage of sources, the book reinterprets late Western Zhou history and questions the causes of its decline and fall.
