 note = {Most turquoise objects from early Neolithic sites in China are pendants made of  a single material. From the later Neolithic period, however, people started to create turquoise ornaments with two or more composite materials.  Ornaments were inlaid with turquoise and other materials us-ing new techniques.  In the Early Bronze Age, the turquoise production process reached its peak. At the Erlitou site, archaeologists found a large dragon-shaped turquoise mosaic, a variety of  animal-shaped turquoise decorations, and turquoise workshops.  The purpose of   this paper is to understand the importance of turquoise products in the formation process of early state formation in China by an-alyzing the following topics: the technological evolution of turquoise manufacture, the combination of composite materials, the use of adhesive in turquoise inlay, and the as sociated production processes as they developed from the Neolithic to Early Bronze Age.},
