Colonizing the roof of world Humans only settled permanently on Tibetan plateau about 3600 years ago. Chen et al. examined archaeological crop remains unearthed in northeastern Tibet, which elucidate timing agricultural settlement. Although much earlier traces humans Tibet have been dated to 20,000 ago, year-round presence at highest altitudes appears impossible until advent suitable crops, such as barley. Surprisingly, these prehistoric farming communities expanded onto same time climate...

Based on radiocarbon dating and our analysis of plant animal remains from Buziping, a Majiayao (5300–4300 BP) Qijia (4200–3800 period site located in Dingxi, Gansu Province, China, review archaeobotanical studies the Western Loess Plateau adjacent areas, we discuss subsistence strategies during periods. We also development agriculture its influence cultural expansion late Neolithic period. Humans settled at Buziping for first time (4890–4710 cal. yr BP by 14 C dating). Charred seeds indicate...

Significance Genetic studies show the founders of all living non-African populations expanded from Africa ca. 65 to 45 ka. This “late dispersal” model has been challenged by discovery isolated AMHs at caves in southern China suggested as early 120 We assessed age AMH fossils five this region using ancient DNA analysis and a multimethod geological dating strategy. found they were much younger than previously suggested, with some remains Holocene owing complex depositional history these...

We studied the mid-Holocene climate change in eastern Qinghai Province, China and its impact on evolution of Majiayao (3980–2050 BC) Qijia (2183–1635 cultures, near important Neolithic site Changning. The investigation focused analyses grain size, magnetic susceptibility, ratios elemental contents, pollen assemblage from a loess-paleosol sequence. results indicate that was wet during 5830–4900 cal yr BP, which promoted development early-mid culture Province. However, 4900–4700 BP were...

Despite the proposed climate–human connection in West Liao River Basin during Bronze Age, question of how climate change could have affected subsistence strategies, and consequently, cultural transformation from Lower Xiajiadian to Upper periods, has never been systematically explored. Based on radiocarbon dating analysis plant remains recovered by flotation, as well spatial distribution archaeological sites, this study investigates strategies ancient people their influence development...

Without rapid international action to curb greenhouse gas emissions, climate scientists have predicted catastrophic sea-level rise by 2100. Globally, archaeologists are documenting the effects of on coastal cultural heritage. Here, authors model impact 1m, 2m and 5m China's archaeological sites using data from Atlas Chinese Cultural Relics Shanghai City's Third National Survey Relics. Although resulting number endangered is large, argue that these represent only a fraction those actually at...

During the second millennium bc , several significant changes were happening in prehistoric societies across E urasia. For instance, shifts subsistence practice occurred north‐western C hina, including western L oess P lateau. However, magnitude and nature of this dietary change are unclear more detailed information regional studies needed order to fully understand reasons behind change. In study, palaeodiet is investigated at three sites ( X iahaishi, B uziping uzishan) lateau, all dating c...

Loess is the most important aeolian deposit of Quaternary and plays an role in explorations evolution paleoclimate paleoenvironment. In recent years, historians science have been working on how loess research originated, developed, was promoted Europe early 19th century. The Chinese community has a clear history from late 20th However, it remains unclear when modern studies were communicated between western eastern academic societies who contributed to development dissemination knowledge,...
