In 2001-2003,the Erlitou Archaeological Team,IA,CASS,carried out a systematic survey in the middle and eastern Luoyang Basin With the Erlitou site in the center.The exploration covered about 638 sq km in area and,in time,the Neolithic Peiligang culture to the Warring States pe- riods.In method it was similar to the systematic regional surveys recently made in other areas of our country.The newly discovered sites number 174,and re-surveyed and confirmed 48.In addition,a preliminary exploration was made to investigate the vestiges of ancient rivers and canals and the rela- tionship between geomorphology and the distribution of man's living remains.The Luoyang Basin was in the center of the culture of successive dynasties within the Central Plains.The present survey is certainly of great walue to studying the course of social complexity in this area.Meanwhile,as an archaeological practice in the densely populated area since antiquity,it enriched the methodology of systematic regional survey.
