I recently created a 3D video-game walkthrough of the Neolithic Banpo site near Xi’an China. This allows my students to explore the 6,000 year old village and interpret some of its features, such as the deep moat, the ceramic jar burials of children, and the square and circular house foundations sunk partially into the ground. Try it out! Click below.<\/p>\n
