Xin Su is Assistant Professor at the Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Chinese. He was educated at the Harvard University, where he received his M.A. (2020), Ph.D. (2024), and at the Wuhan University, where he received his B.A. (2015), and M. A. (2018). His doctoral research focus on the lithic and ceramic technology, with emphasis on the interaction between resources, environment, and society during the Bronze Age in China.
Furthermore, he participated in the excavation of many sites from the Neolithic to the historical period. He is currently conducting research in the Middle Yangtze River (长江中游) in China, where he is investigating a research on the production of lithics and ceramics. In addition, as one the directors, he is running an archaeology summer school at the Panlongcheng site (盘龙城遗址) in Wuhan, collaborating with the Wuhan University, Panlongcheng Site Museum, and Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.
Su’s research works have been published both in Chinese and English peer-reviewed journals, including some studies on bronzes, such as bronze vessels unearthed from Panlongcheng site and SuizhongMijia Ding (随仲芈加鼎) from a personal collection (but recently excavation in Suizhou [随州], China shows that this Ding should belong to a royal cemetery of Zeng State [曾国] in Western Zhou [东周]), some studies on lithic production, ancient landscape as well as paleoenvironment at the Panlongcheng site, and social interactions in the northeastern China. In November 2024, his first monograph on the study of stone and jade artifacts from the Panlongcheng site will be published by Science Press.
