DESCRIPTION:All the various forms of slavery\, a practice still prevalent i
 n the world today\, have been the object of intense study and analysis for
  centuries. The forms and nature of slavery in the ancient Chinese world\,
  however\, have been far less studied and the evidence in transmitted text
 s is much more limited. In recent years a great number of new sources have
  been recovered by archaeologists that enable research on the institution 
 and practice of slavery in the early Chinese empires. This paper will init
 iate an exploration of some of this new data in the light of a few of the 
 questions that have been raised by sociologists\, historians\, comparativi
 sts\, and scholars of the ancient Mediterranean world.\n\nRobin Yates spec
 ializes in the history of Chinese law\, the social and cultural history of
  pre-modern China including slavery\, the history of Chinese military scie
 nce and technology\, and the history of Chinese women. His most recent boo
 k\, a collaboration with Anthony J. Barbieri-Low\, Law\, State\, and Socie
 ty in Early Imperial China: A Study with Critical Edition and Translation 
 of the Legal Texts from Zhangjiashan Tomb no. 247\, was published by Brill
  in 2 volumes in 2015 and was awarded Honorable Mention in the Patrick D. 
 Hanan Book Prize for Translation (China and Inner Asia)\, Association for 
 Asian Studies\, in 2018. He is currently researching and publishing on var
 ious aspects (such as disability) of the newly discovered and recovered le
 gal and administrative documents dating from the Qin and Han periods\, fou
 nd in tombs and at the site of the Qin County of Qianling\, modern Liye\, 
 Hunan Province\, and those found in Changsha\, including the Eastern Han d
 ocuments from Wuyi Square\, and other sites.\n\nTo register please email l
