An archeologist at Washington University in St. Louis is helping to reveal for the first time a snapshot of rural life in China during the Han Dynasty.

The rural farming village of Sanyangzhuang was flooded by silt-heavy water from the Yellow River around 2,000 year ago.

Working with Chinese colleagues, T.R. Kidder, PhD, professor and chair of anthropology in Arts & Sciences, is working to excavate the site, which offers a exceptionally well-preserved view of daily life in Western China more than 2,000 years ago.

2,000 years ago. Oh snap!

If I had a time machine I'd like to go back 2,500 years and be sitting next to Sun Tzu as he wrote The Art of War.

Now that would be cool. Of course I'd have to understand 'Chinese'. (which ever dialect he spoke)
