This link sends students to a treasure trove of information! Although the focus is on art, the visuals are organized in a very accessible way. I'm very unskilled with the contents of different historical periods, yet even I was able to select a time range (e.g., "8000 - 2000 B.C.) and select a region (e.g., "East Asia") or a thematic category (e.g., "Asian Art") and receive a list of cultures to pick from (China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia).

The pictures of artwork, many of which appear to be functional pieces (pots, pans, knives, etc.) are great, and some are superimposed over a map of the portion of the planet where the pieces were found. Excellent resource!
