Tossup
A five-stage archaeological sequence of styles composed primarily of objects from this polity was proposed by Max Loehr (“lurr”). A royal consort from this polity, whose head was later hung from a white flag to indicate that she had led to its downfall, supposedly prompted her husband to create a torture method involving walking over a greased metal beam heated with coal. After losing a battle, this polity’s final ruler committed suicide at the Deer Terrace Pavilion, which was legendarily home to excesses of meat and wine. The tomb of Fù Hǎo (“foo how”), a queen and general from this polity, was excavated in Ānyáng (“ahn-yahng”). The Hòumǔwù (“HO-moo-woo”) dǐng bronze vessel was found at this dynasty’s last capital, Yīn. This dynasty fell after the Battle of Mùyě (“moo-yeh”) in 1046 BCE. For 10 points, name this Chinese dynasty preceded by the Xià (“sh’yah”) and succeeded by the Zhōu ■END■
