上的: What is it function in 中国历史学上的夏、商、周属于考古学上的青铜时代? In the following sentence, what does 上的 mean?  

中国历史学上的夏、商、周属于考古学上的青铜时代。

I translated it as "Archaeologists know the Xia, Shang and Zhou collectively as the Bronze Age."  I think I have the gist of it, but I don't understand how 上的 is functioning.
You have made a wrong pause in the sentence…… 

It should be "中国历史学上的|夏、商、周|属于|考古学上的|青铜时代。". 

It is "in Chinese history". "in Chinese history" = "中国历史学上的"
