Hao Zhao

I am a graduate student in East Asian Languages and Cultures on the archaeology track. I received my M.A. in 2011 and B.A. in 2008 in archaeology both from Peking University (Beijing). My M.A. research centered on the sacrificial remains of Eastern Zhou(ca.800-200B.C), including jades, bronze and faunal remains of that period. My research in Stanford mainly looks at the emergence, maintenance, adjustment and collapse of early complex society during the bronze age of China, and investigates the correlations between political and economic system by analyzing ritual practice, settlement patterns and mortuary patterns. Additional interests include the bronze casting techniques as well as GIS in archaeology.
