 Another related kind of local writing began with the Song dynasty *Chang'an zhi*, produced by Song Minqiu (1019--1079) in 1076.[^26] Song's work includes a historical survey of the Chang'an area, including a summary of government institutions, palaces, and cities in the Zhou, the Qin, and the Han dynasties, as well as the city in the Tang dynasty and counties around Chang'an. This work is organized according to two different principles. First, the editor separates the materials between the city and the counties around it. Then, on the city, the book follows a chronological order, focusing on the Han and the Tang dynasty. Within the chapters on the city, it then includes textual information about the locations and history of notable sites. For example, the entry on the Pingkang Ward in the Tang city includes detailed information about several notable structures within the ward. An edition of the book printed in 1468 uses large characters to describe the name and location of these structures, while the smaller, double-line notes explain their history and incorporate stories about these places.

 Therefore, unlike the thematically organized works mentioned above, the *Chang'an zhi* provides more concrete temporal and geographical information that can be associated with the texts it includes. For instance, we can "locate" the chunk of text about the residence of a notable historical figure geographically in a ward in the city, and temporally in the lifetime of this figure, which is often known or deducible from other sources. Because the *Chang'an zhi* provides the most complete list of Han and Tang place names in Chang'an and gives their location in a relatively concrete and reliable manner, it has long been the basis for the reconstruction of Chang'an in modern scholarship.[^27] I also use the *Chang'an zhi* as a basis for my reconstruction of the city (Figure 3).

 The second kind of data we possess in abundance now comes from archaeology. Unlike textual sources, whose geographical information can often be fuzzy, archaeological data generally contain concrete geographical information. For instance, when a hoard of Tang treasures was discovered in 1970, we know *precisely* where it was discovered: a modern village called Hejiacun (Figure 4).[^29] Then, cross-referencing with textual sources from *Chang'an zhi* and others, we can determine that this hoard was located in the southwestern part of the Xinghua Ward on the west side of Chang'an.

 Thousands of similar archaeological discoveries, from tombs and building foundations to ancient wells and gates, have been made in the past few decades. Almost all of them, when documented in official reports, are placed with a precise location that can be associated with a Tang or Han dynasty place. In this way, these archaeological data can be easily connected to the textual database. Our knowledge about their precise locations means that these archaeological data more easily lend themselves to geometric abstractions than does most textual information.
 
 Furthermore, archaeology does not simply provide additional data, but can help revise and refine the textual data too. The archaeological work on the city itself --- its walls, gates, bridges, and palaces --- gives us a more precise picture of the shape of the city than textual sources and offers details unrecorded in texts. For instance, the excavation of what used to be the Western Market --- the center of foreign trade in Tang Chang'an --- revealed details about the internal structure of the market area, including the bridges and water system that must have been crucial to the function of the city (Figure 5). None of these details are recorded in textual sources. Such archaeological data complement, correct, and enrich textual data; a full picture of the city can only become possible if both types of sources are thoroughly incorporated.

 What can we do with a database that incorporates both textual and archaeological information? And how would this "deep map" differ from the existing maps surveyed above? At this point, in the beginning of my project, I can only offer a few conjectural remarks.
