The problem of center-periphery relations has occupied good historians for decades by now. Few historians, however, have taken the time to develop an integrative look at local communities in the distant past, one that takes into account their precise physical locations, resource allocations over time, judicial and administrative practices, and different types of evidence about them from received texts and excavated artifacts. This seminar aims to school students in the "best practices" for conducting several modes of trans-disciplinary inquiry. The cases to be explored will be mainly (but not exclusively) drawn from Early China.
