This research was supported by a Discovery Project grant from the Australian Research Council (DP0450025). My most sincere thanks to Li Liu and Xingcan Chen from the Yiluo River Valley Archaeological Project for providing me with the opportunity and support to undertake fieldwork at Huizui. I am also grateful to the members of the Yiluo project, especially Arlene Rosen, Gyuong-Ah Lee, Sheahen Bestel, Ming Wei, Xie Liye and John Webb for advice and guidance. Guowei Xu, Justin Gorton and Cameron Cairns provided invaluable geological information and expertise. I would also like to thank Xu Hong of the Erlitou station of the Institute of Archaeology for allowing me to examine stone tools from the urban centre of Erlitou. Finally, I would like to acknowledge Mark Edmonds and Vin Davis for the opportunity to contribute to this volume.
