Jeffrey Kenneth Riegel (born 1945) is an American sinologist and university professor. He taught at the University of California, Berkeley (1979–2007), and the University of Sydney (2007–2017).[1] He was one of the editors[2] of the Chinese archaeological abstracts (in the Monumenta Archaeologia series) and of the journal[3] Early China.
