Kwang-chih Chang
Kwang-chih Chang (; April 15, 1931 – January 3, 2001), commonly known as
K. C. Chang, was a Taiwanese
anthropologist,
archaeologist, and
sinologist who was the John E. Hudson Professor of Archaeology at
Harvard University. He also served as the vice-president of
Academia Sinica and as a curator at the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. He helped to bring modern, western methods of archaeology to the study of ancient Chinese history. He also introduced new discoveries in Chinese archaeology to western audiences by translating works from Chinese to English. He pioneered the study of Taiwanese archaeology, encouraged multi-disciplinal anthropological archaeological research, and urged archaeologists to conceive of East Asian prehistory (
China,
Korea, and
Japan) as a pluralistic whole.
