The Chinese Culture: The Shang Dynasty

The culture that the deceased most likely belong to was the Shang Dynasty because the Shang Dynasty rule was around ca. 1766-1027 B.C.E and this burial site if from around dating from around 1200 BCE. On page 68 “The Chinese social order is clearly articulated in Shang royal tombs, where the king is surrounded by the men and women who served him in his lifetime.” This is a clear indication that the burial site was someone of Shang Dynasty because below the floor level, the remains of six dogs were found and this could have been the royal family pets who they loved.
