The archaeology of China is researched intensively in the universities of the region and also attracts considerable international interest on account of the region's civilizations.The application of scientific archaeology to Chinese sites began in 1921, when Johan Gunnar Andersson first excavated the Yangshao Village sites in Henan.Excavations from 1928 at Anyang, also in northern Henan, by the newly formed Academia Sinica by anthropologist Li Ji uncovered a literate civilization identified with the late stages of the Shang dynasty of early Chinese records.Earlier cities in northern Henan were discovered at Zhengzhou in 1952 and Erlitou in 1959.More recently prehistoric cities such as Panlongcheng and Sanxingdui have been discovered in other parts of China.
