In this episode, Jonathan talks to Dr. Shelley Ochs about recent texts and artifacts excavated from the Han Dynasty tomb in Lao Guan Shan (老官山汉墓), Sichuan Province. She discusses how these findings are related to her PhD research on Bian Que, including his use of a channel based medicine. Later in the episode, Shelley also talks about a figurine with channel pathways discovered in the tombs which gives insights into the development of channels during that period of time. Excavated texts also point to the use of palpation in the discovery of the channels.
