Though Mirror-moulds are important materials, archaeologists had not been keen interest for them. We made a corpus of mirror-moulds in ancient East Asia, especially mirror-moulds of Qi state castle in Lintzi, Shandong, China. And we have identified the techniques of making bronze mirrors in ancient East Asia. After we analyzed the distributions of mirrors that have same motifs of mirror-moulds, we have generally grasped them. We have published six books and catalogues about mirror-moulds, and held two international symposiums.
