Gifts from the Celestial Kingdom
A Shipwrecked Cargo for Gold Rush California
In 1850 a sailing vessel was wrecked on the California coast with a rich cargo of Chinese goods bound for the Gold Rush. This book uses the fate of the vessel for a dual purpose: to tell the story of the beginnings of direct commerce between China and California and to explore the potential of contextual archaeology by tracing the cargo back to its origins in China.
