obnoxious textbook errors

yes here they are in almost all their "glory." i kept the line breaks and page turns are marked but everything is typed with single spaces regardless of how many spaces they used to make it look nice on the page.

"It is with the Neolothic that we begin to have more solid ev-

"Like the artifacts found at the Xingan site, some of the ma-
terial remains from the
Sanxingdui site point to
early contacts with the late
Neolithic precursors to the
Shang--and to other non-
Shang Bronze Age civiliza-
tions from the middle
Yangzi region. More inter-
estingly, there is no evi-
dence that the Sanxingdui
artisans, unlike their
Xingan contemporaries,
had much contact with
Shang culture. In fact,
much of what was found at
Sanxingdui strongly sug-
gests the presence of a tra-
dition distinct from those
found in the North China
Plains. For example, in one
of the sacrificial pits, arche-
ologists discovered a life-size
statue on a pedestal, fort-
one heads, and twenty or so
mask-like items (see Figure

"According to later Chinese historians, the Shang house lost its mandate be-
cause their rules had failed to serve the people. As a result, Heaven (tian)--the
Zhou's highest deity--revoked the mandate and gave it to the Zhou house, [page break]
the king came to the capital, ready to fight the invaders. This spectacle caught
the beloved's fancy, so the king had the beacon lit again so that the lords would
come to the capital."

So that was about when I quit doing homework and e-mailed my prof.
