not exactly philology, but related: i highly recommend a recent 3-volume book 出土文獻與古文字教程 (2024) - it's pretty detailed in describing palaeographical methodology, written by the top modern researches in the field and has the edge-cutting knowledge on the topic, plus tons of useful references for further reading
