- "a new study by University College London researchers"
There is only one UCL researcher, singular, credited in the paper's affiliations section [0]. The other ten authors split between four different Chinese institutions. The UCL press release kind of erases this and feels misleading to me.
Eh, it probably has to be a collaboration - doubt it's easy to do fieldwork in China or Chinese history without Chinese support - but that does also feel a bit like reputation washing.
