The
Liaoning bronze dagger culture is an
archeological complex of the late
Bronze Age in Korea and China. Artifacts from the culture are found primarily in the
Liaoning area of
northeast China and in the
Korean peninsula. Various other bronze artifacts, including ornaments and weapons, are associated with the culture, but the daggers are viewed as the most characteristic. Liaoning bronzes contain a higher percentage of zinc than those of the neighboring bronze cultures.
