    The Shang Dynasty ruled China's Lower Yellow River Valley after the Xia Dynasty between 1575-1045 BC. It was the first dynasty that archaeologists could study due to written records and artifacts found at Yin Xu, the ruins of the ancient Shang capital near modern Anyang. Excavations at Yin Xu uncovered eleven royal tombs, palace foundations, and artifacts that informed archaeologists about Shang culture, sciences, and crafts during China's middle Bronze Age period. The Shang Dynasty was followed by the Zhou Dynasty in Chinese history.
