Chinese archaeology and osteoarchaeology, especially focusing on exploring the technology of bone artifacts with experimental archaeology methods.
Jie Shen 沈劼 is a Ph.D. student in Chinese Archaeology, in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Stanford University. She mainly focuses on the crafting technology of bone artifacts in ancient China. Using the use-wear analysis, residue analysis, and experimental archaeology, Jie explores the variation and development in bone crafting techniques, and how the crafting industry was involved in social progress such as intriguing social differentiation and forming the early state. Also, she is interested in the religious and political meaning of animal-related artifacts, which are significant for understanding the human-animal relationship.
