Bohai state (698–926), households, adaptation, dwellings, activity zonesAbstract
This paper analyzes approaches, methods, and techniques for studying households of the early medieval state of Bohai (698–925). A distinction is made between the concepts of “dwelling” and “household,” with the latter considered a fundamental analytical category for paleo-economic and social research in Bohai archaeology. The eco-social approach is identified as the most appropriate framework for reconstructing the phenomena under study.
