Abstract:	Archaeologists knew of jade from Taiwan archaeological contexts as early as 1931, long before the actual source region of nephrite was known to geologists. But knowledge of the remarkable wealth of this material was not gained until intensive excavations were conducted at Pei-nan between 1980 and 1988. This paper is focused on the prehistoric jade industry of Taiwan and deals with whole assemblages, especially those with contextual data. It begins with the Pei-nan jade assemblage then considers other discoveries of jades in Taiwan.
