 配祀 literally meaning “matching ritual”\, peixiang 配享 “matchi

  “matching food offering” to express “jointly offering sacrifices to
  the deceased or conducting certain ritual activities are terms not in the
  contemporary to the late Shang language (ca. 13th c. – 11th c. B.C.E.)\

 坐 ‘to sit\; to seat’ are used\, coupled with the use of the so-calle
 d “handle-shaped jade objects” discovered in a Shang tomb in Anyang Ho

 庚 ‘Ancestor Geng’\, Zu Jia 祖甲 ‘Ancestor Jia’\, Fu Xin 父辛
  ‘Father Xin’\, and Fu Gui 父癸 ‘Father Gui’\, the paper attempt
 s to show how concretely such joint sacrifices and rituals might actually 
 have been carried out.\nKen-ichi Takashima\, University of British Columb
