Wer hat Peking zum ersten Mal zur Reichshauptstadt erhoben? Warum nannte man in Europa das Land China noch bis zum 17. Jahrhundert Cathay oder Catayo oder Kitai? Archäologen arbeiten gegen das Vergessen. Das ist besonders wichtig für Völker oder historische Perioden, die wenig hinterlassen haben, deren Spuren man entdecken muss. Für die Liao-Dynastie ( ) trifft das zu. Erst durch Ausgrabungen wissen wir von ihrer Vorliebe für Bernsteinschmuck und Kamelwagen. In diesem Vortrag wird es um das Grab einer Prinzessin, die Damen- und Herrenmode des Jahres 1093 und ganz generell um die Arbeit der Archäologen in China gehen.
