#37: 考古台灣 (Taiwan Archaeology) by 陳歆怡、楊子磊 & 顏松柏

A comprehensive and nicely illustrated overview of Taiwan’s most significant archaeological sites. I could’ve done without the sections on Taiwan’s heritage preservation bureaucracy and just stuck to the artefacts but that is still important (if dry).

Which, I should add, is also valuable. Sometimes it's good to question how many Americans and other Westerners I share common ground with on issues affecting the region are motivated more by weird securities and challenges to their sense of superiority than they are by the concerns that motivate me.

I’ve wondered the same but it’s just as likely a case of non-local journalists on tight deadlines looking at who other outlets are quoting and reaching out to the same people. Most experts aren’t so media-friendly, and probably aren’t willing to speculate so publicly just based on some shaky videos.
