Hi everyone, and welcome.

This forum is open to all of you who are interrested in Asian archaeology or History.

Don't hesitate to post anything you find interresting to say!

On this topic, you can also present yourself.

Where you live, what you're studying, what's your job, anything you want to share!

I start:

I'm Ondine, 22yo, I study in Paris, La Sorbonne University. I want to focus my archaeology studies on China but that seems quite difficult... Hang on!

I'm also one ...

Interesting exhibition centering upon the chinese contemporary Art scene. Consider it a distillation of the past of "the empire of the middle".

Do not hesitate to check it out if you're around Paris.

I'm really happy with the existence of this forum!

But... it isn't very much alive at the moment...

Maybe the structure of the different sections should change a little to make it look more appealing. And the site should be linked more prominently on different sites I think (hereby offering a prominent link on the website "I'm" running: http://maitreya.lasterra.nl ).

What do you guys/gals think?

PS

Maybe there should be a more general section as well, to talk about ...

Guimet Museum

Just a small presentation topic about my favourite Parisian museum...

So calm, so interresting, and ... so free

I've read a book about its history. It's just like an adventure novel :)

History of the museum:

[img]gui_1_emileguimet-2-150x150.jpg[/img] The Mus�e Guimet was the brain-child of Emile Guimet (1836-1918), a Lyons industrialist who devised the grand project of opening a museum devoted to the religions of Ancient Egypt, Classical Antiquity, and Asia. Guimet visited Egypt ...

Chinese Novel

Ondine — Fri, 16 May 2008 11:46:27 GMT

I've read a few months ago a Lin YuTang novel about Wu Ze Tian (Wu Zhao) , chinese empress.

That was really fascinating, even if I guess it was kind of "re-adapted" for the novel.

Did you already heard about that woman?

So impressive!

How to join a chinese (or else in Asia) excavation?

Admin — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:31:35 GMT

It's really easier to join the one which is in your own town!

But after two or three experiences, I want to practice in China!

If you have any suggestion (names, e-mails, locations, advices...) let us know!

Yours

Hi.

I am writing on Southeast Asian prehistory, but I don't get any funding for my project in Germany. Does anybody know of some grants or fellowships? Perhaps someone has a suggestion...

Thx, Karsten
