A disaggregated DEA framework for sustainable efficiency and performance management in higher education institutions
Purpose This paper aims to develop an efficiency evaluation framework for higher education institutions (HEIs) that addresses the equitable allocation of shared central resources (e.g. energy, funding and infrastructure) across heterogeneous academic subunits to ensure sustainable governance and strategic planning. Design/methodology/approach The study proposes a disaggregated data envelopment analysis framework that decomposes HEIs into natural …
Sophisticated millet-pig agriculture fueled asynchronous social complexity in the Neolithic Chinese Loess Plateau
Interaction of environmental change and social evolution in pre-industrial East Asia
An understanding of environmental change and human adaptation across different times and spaces is significant for the study of the interaction between humans and the environment. This understanding can provide vital information for coping effectively with rapid changes in climate. It is imperative that transdisciplinary research be conducted to explore integrated approaches to detecting the relationship between environmental change and social ev…
Bioarchaeological perspectives on the ancient Han-Xiongnu war
Iterative variation of human staples related to climate–society interactions in the North China plain between the 7th and 19th centuries
Detecting the waves of southward culture diffusion along the eastern margin of Tibetan Plateau during the Neolithic and Bronze Age
Considering the impact of geographic location and climate on China’s environmental efficiency based on a meta dynamic non-radial DDF
Understanding the transport networks complex between South Asia, Southeast Asia and China during the late Neolithic and Bronze Age
The emergence and intensification of transcontinental exchange during both the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age profoundly influenced the social history of Eurasia. While scholars have intensively discussed east-west long-distance communication along the proto-Silk Road, the north-south transport networks that connected China to South and Southeast Asia during the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age have attracted much less attention in the scholarly lite…
Shift in Subsistence Crop Dominance from Broomcorn Millet to Foxtail Millet Around 5500 BP in the Western Loess Plateau
Prehistoric firewood gathering on the northeast Tibetan plateau
Early emergence and development of pastoralism in Gan-Qing region from the perspective of isotopes
Dietary shift and social hierarchy from the Proto-Shang to Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains of China
The Proto-Shang, the Shang and the Zhou dynasties (∼2000–221 BCE: Before Common Era) are key periods in the origin and evolution of ancient civilizations in China since the periods include the processes and mechanisms of social development in the Central Plains of China during the Bronze Age. However, human-environment interactions in the context of trans-Eurasia cultural exchange during that time are not well-understood. In this study, isotopic …
How did trans-Eurasian exchanges affect spatial-temporal variation in agricultural patterns during the late prehistoric period in the Yellow River valley (China)
The introduction of wheat into China between ~4500 and 4000 cal. a BP is thought to have restructured the ancient Chinese agricultural system and contributed to the formation and development of Chinese civilization. However, the spatial variation in agricultural development before and after the introduction of exotic crops across the Yellow River valley has not yet been discussed in detail. Here, we report new archaeobotanical data and radiocarbo…
Introduction to the Special Issue
Identifying and explaining changes in the prehistoric material and social world is one of the greatest research interests in archaeology, palaeoclimate and environmental science. In the last two decades or so, a considerable number of studies have made significant contributions to the associated disciplines in eastern Asian archaeology. However, due to the more specialised scientific approaches and the rapid accumulation of new excavation materia…
Foraging and farming
Archaeological research has documented the migration of Neolithic farmers onto the Tibetan Plateau by 4000 BC. How these incoming groups interacted, if at all, with local indigenous foragers, however, remains unclear. New archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological data from the Zongri site in the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau suggest that local foragers continued to hunt but supplemented their diet with agricultural products in the form of millet. Th…
Dietary shift after 3600 cal yr BP and its influencing factors in northwestern China
How humans inhabited the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau during the Little Ice Age
Stable Isotope Analysis of Human and Animal Remains at the Qijiaping Site in Middle Gansu, China
Intercontinental exchanges between communities living in different parts of Eurasia during the late prehistoric period have become increasingly popular as a topic of archaeological research. The Qijia culture, found in northwest China, is one of the key archaeological cultures that can shed light on trans-Eurasian exchange because a variety of imports are found in this cultural context. These imports include new cereals and animals, which suggest…
Ancient landslide-dam events in the Jishi Gorge, upper Yellow River valley, China
Some scholars have argued that the formation and outburst of an ancient dammed lake in the Jishi Gorge at ca. 3700 cal yr BP resulted in the destruction of Lajia, the site of a famous prehistoric disaster in the Guanting Basin, upper Yellow River valley, China. However, the cause of the dammed lake and the exact age of the dam breaching are still debated. We investigated ancient landslides and evidence for the dammed lake in the Jishi Gorge, incl…
Process of paleofloods in Guanting basin, Qinghai Province, China and possible relation to monsoon strength during the mid-Holocene
Mid-Holocene climate change and its effect on prehistoric cultural evolution in eastern Qinghai Province, China
We studied the mid-Holocene climate change in eastern Qinghai Province, China and its impact on the evolution of Majiayao (3980–2050 BC) and Qijia (2183–1635 BC) cultures, near the important Neolithic site of Changning. The investigation focused on analyses of grain size, magnetic susceptibility, ratios of elemental contents, and pollen assemblage from a loess-paleosol sequence. The results indicate that the climate was wet during 5830–4900 cal y…
The development of agriculture and its impact on cultural expansion during the late Neolithic in the Western Loess Plateau, China
Based on radiocarbon dating and our analysis of plant and animal remains from Buziping, a Majiayao (5300–4300 BP) and Qijia (4200–3800 BP) period site located in Dingxi, Gansu Province, China, and our review of archaeobotanical studies in the Western Loess Plateau and adjacent areas, we discuss subsistence strategies during the Majiayao and Qijia periods. We also discuss the development of agriculture in the Western Loess Plateau and its influenc…
