Title: Chinese Archaeomagnetic Data; WDC Geophysics/Beijing

Description:

Abstract:

The following data is currently available : a) Direction of the ancient geomagnetic field and polar wandering data from 4495 BC through 1500 AD for Shaanxi, Henan, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces. b) Archaeomagnetic data for the neolithic epoch (6495 BC) in Jiangzhai, Bangpo, Shaanxi province. c) Changes in the total magnetic moment of the earth for Beijing, Xian, Loyang, Hubei, Shaanxi, Hunan, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces from 4495 BC through 1911 AD. d) Secular variation of direction of ancient geomagnetic field for Loyang region from 475 BC through 1850 AD. e) Secular variation of intensity of ancient geomagnetic field for Loyang region from 500 BC through 1900 AD. f) Secular variation of inclination of ancient geomagnetic field for Beijing region from 900 BC through 1900 AD. g) Data dating from the Neolithic through the Qing dynasty in Xinjiang, Guangdong, Fujian, and Sichuan provinces.
