Henan is situated in the Central Plains. In the Shang-Zhou Period, it was the region for the Shang and Zhou dynasties to locate their capitals and to carry out important activities, so there remain rich and significant cultural vestiges of those times. Since the founding of New China , discoveries of Shang-Zhou archaeology in Henan emerged in an endless stream. These include the new dis- coveries from the early Shang capital-sites at Zhengzhou and Yanshi ; the breakthroughs gained in the excavation of the late Shang cap- ital-site （Yin Ruins） at Anyang; the greal success in excavating the Eastern Zhou Luoyang-site and the remains of the Ying, Guo, Zheng, Han and Chu states of the Zhou Period. Archaeological discoveries of vital importance evidence that the Central Plains in the Shang-Zhou Period gradually became the center of Huaxia Civilization. The present paper tries to sum up the new discoveries and stud- ies in Henan archaeology of the Shang-Zhou Period in the past sixty years.
