6: Archaeology in China Today
A new, scientifically based excavation has begun at the site where the skull of Peking Man was discovered; archaeological evidence disproves the historical record describing the murder of the daughter of China's only woman Emperor; a neolithic site provides examples of advanced carpentry and possibly the earliest known cultivation of rice in the Far East.
