Adds Xia to the base game.
The Erlitou culture of China's central plain marks the decisive shift out of East Asia's Neolithic period, ushering in the beginning of Chinese civilization. Although Erlitou was occupied as early as 3500 BC, it was from 1900-1600 BC that the culture evolved to form the first state-level society of China. During its heyday the Erlitou archeological site included an area of almost 300 hectares. Palatial buildings, royal tombs, bronze foundries, paved roads, and rammed earth foundations attest to the complexity and importance of this central site.
Because of temporal and geographic overlap, the culture is often assumed to correlate to the Xia Dynasty; however, this has not been proven through archeological evidence. Even if true, the details concerning the Xia Dynasty (first recorded more than a millennium later during the Western Zhou period) are largely understood to be mythical; serving as a counterpoint to the subsequent Shang Dynasty. Continued archeological surveys of Erlitou sites are needed in order to form a more complete picture of China's first state.
