The History of the City of Caoline

The presence of the walls and importance of the artifects have led historians to believe that this sight must have been a shang capital. The presence of such fortified, ramned earth walls show a progression from the practices of the lung shang culture who had dominated these areas of the upper yellow river in centuries gone. As the shang influence spread eastwards towards the coastal lands, it would come to dominate the northern ins of modern china. We can see the same developments in city societies in these lands as we have seen in other cultures already. It may be even an expansionist mind set to try and subjugate neighboring territories in order to protect and preserve their own culture.
