Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. nd (1967 or later?); pp [1], 61 and 90. Some staining on the inside front cover where the glue fixing the end paper appears to have seeped through but otherwise in very good condition. The book is in two parts, the first largely in English and the second part in Chinese but also with tables in arabic numerals. As the title indicates it's a study of chronological and related information found by studying Western Chou bronzes. NOTE: on account of the size and weight of this books the postage cost will be LESS than the amount (which must be) shown and will be advised before an order is confirmed. The Western Chou, or Zhou, period was from 1046-771 BC and in 1928 archaeological excavation began around the relevant area of the Shang dynasty and yielded significant and rich artifacts until the work was interrupted by WWII, subsequently falling to looting and destruction until guided excavation began again in 1975.
