By Lily Fagin | January 16, 2013

Chinese archaeologist Lu Liancheng shared photographs of architectural sites and artifacts from the Shang, Zhou and Qin dynasties with students and faculty members on Tuesday night. Lu explained the significance of his own archaeological discoveries relative to China's history, emphasizing what artifacts can reveal about the places they were found. Speaking in Mandarin Chinese, Lu described the various religious, social and political systems in the three dynasties as he narrated slideshow with bronze vessels, jade sculptures, oracle bones and floor plans of homes or temples, Chinese professor Juwen Zhang translated his work into English. One of the most compelling parts of Chinese archeology is comparing different dynastical artifacts, which are often discovered at a single archeological site, Lu said. "Chinese history is layers piled up," he said. The lecture spanned nearly 1,400 years of Chinese history, and bounced between anecdotes of individual finds and generalizations about each dynasty and the relationships between them.

Budget, venue affect PB concerts

By Michelle Deloison-Baum | January 15, 2013

Sujin Lim / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Programming Board, which has not hosted a large concert since Avicii came in Winter 2012, plans to bring a "popular" artist to campus this Spring term, according to Programming Board public relations executive Zakia Lghzaoui '13. While some peer institutions have had more success inviting major artists to campus each year, each university's ability to bring in performers varies based on venue options, location, budget and reputation. Members of Programming Board have decided not to host a winter concert because of the difficulties involved in securing an indoor venue with enough space for the entire student body, director Alex Martin '13 said. "Leverone is used year-round by various sports groups and as far as we've been told, it is hard to convince these teams to let us borrow the field for the two plus days it takes to get concerts of this scale set up," he said.
