I think that the article unfortunately is not eligible for DYK, since it already appeared on the main page, in "in the news" section. Just to be sure, I will ask an experienced member of DYK staff. Alex2006 (talk) 12:43, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
no, that is true only for mentioning with a blurb. His name was listed "only" among the "Recent deaths", which is no problem. The instructions should be clarified, - this is not first time it comes up this year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:58, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Overall: 
The article complies with all the requirements for DYK. AGF for the references offline, for those in Chinese I used google translate. About the hook, the source says "in some places", I think that we should put it in the hook, writing something like ALT1. Alex2006 (talk) 16:45, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

- @Alessandro57: Thanks for your review and suggestion. However, the source says the alluvium is more than 10 meters deep in some places, so "up to" is not correct. I used 10 meters as an approximate number for the sake of conciseness, but to be 100% exact, we probably have to use the original wording in the article:
- ALT2 ... that Zhang Changshou co-led a Sino-American archaeological project investigating sites sometimes buried under more than 10 meters (33 ft) of alluvium? -Zanhe (talk) 01:44, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
