Metalworking in Bronze Age China: The Lost-Wax Process by Peng Peng (review)

(p. 273). Until habitation sites are located and excavated, subsistence practices at Mebrak 63 remain open to question. Although the data from Mebrak 63 do not directly address all the key questions posed at the start of this review, they nevertheless serve as a baseline for future comparative work in the Himalayas. The photographs and line drawings, as well as the detailed descriptions of the small and special finds, will be of considerable value to scholars across the Himalayan arc seeking to find a better and more local source of stylistic comparisons. The authors are to be congratulated for bringing this long-term project to a successful conclusion.
