Delta sustainability from the Holocene to the Anthropocene and envisioning the future
Holocene palaeoecological archives of Eastern Mediterranean plant diversity
Unveiling the Mid-Holocene coastal hydrological changes and their impacts on Neolithic cultures along the South Hangzhou Bay of eastern China
The pyramid builders' waterways
High-resolution insight into the Holocene environmental history of the Burullus Lagoon in northern Nile delta, Egypt
The modern Nile delta developed in the Middle and Late Holocene, and at its most northern-central point is situated at the Burullus Lagoon, which is environmentally diverse, including salt marshes, mudflats, and sand plains, and separated from a sea by a sand barrier overtopped with high sand dunes. The lagoon has been fed since the Middle Holocene by the Sebennitic branch of the Nile and marine intrusions through the Bughaz inlet. A sediment cor…
Climate-driven early agricultural origins and development in the Nile Delta, Egypt
New archaeobotanical evidence reveals synchronous rice domestication 7600 years ago on south Hangzhou Bay coast, eastern China
Optical dating of Holocene sediments from the Yangtze River (Changjiang) Delta, China
Migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone in North Africa during the Holocene
Pollen evidence to interpret the history of rice farming at the Hemudu site on the Ningshao coast, eastern China
Provenance discrimination of the clay sediment in the western Taiwan Strait and its implication for coastal current variability during the late-Holocene
This study aims to quantify the contribution of Yangtze clays to the sediment accumulation in the western Taiwan Strait and reconstruct the strength of Chinese Coastal Current (CCC) since middle-Holocene driven by East Asian Winter Monsoon (EAWM). Both down-core and surficial sediment samples were collected for grain size, radiocarbon, and clay mineral analyses. One 250-cm-long core was collected from the southern Yangtze distal mud wedge in west…
Middle Holocene coastal environment and the rise of the Liangzhu City complex on the Yangtze delta, China
The large prehistoric city of Liangzhu and its associated earthen dike emerged on the Yangtze delta-coast after two millennia of occupation in this area by scattered communities. Details of its development have been widely discussed in the literature. Our results reveal that the city was selectively built at the head of an embayment backed by hills, with close access to food, freshwater and timber, and with protection from coastal hazards. Radioc…
Constructing Water Shortages on a Huge River
Shanghai is located on the world's third largest river (by volume). Yet it faces the risk of shortages of drinking water. Many decisions and environmental characteristics have contributed to this threat. First, Shanghai has become dependent on water brought into the municipality by rivers. Second, it has become increasingly reliant on water from the Changjiang (Yangzi River), principally in order to control the levels of pollution in the water th…
Multidisciplinary studies in environmental archaeology with particular reference to China
An important focus in research over the past decade is the relationship between climatic/environmental change and human cultural evolution during the Holocene. This decade saw an increasing number of natural scientists involved in this research, which led to debates and collaborations between natural scientists and archaeologists/anthropologists. This decade also witnessed an increase in multidisciplinary research across these subjects, which has…
Mid-Holocene coastal hydrology and salinity changes in the east Taihu area of the lower Yangtze wetlands, China
During the mid-Holocene the eastern Taihu area, on China's Yangtze delta plain, was populated by advanced late Neolithic cultures supported by intensive domesticated rice cultivation. This agricultural system collapsed around 4200 cal yr BP, with severe population decline, the end of the Liangzhu culture, and about half a millennium of very low-scale human activity in the area before the re-establishment of agricultural production. Microfossil an…
Migration of Neolithic settlements in the Dongting Lake area of the middle Yangtze River basin, China
The vast Dongting Lake in the middle Yangtze River basin, China, was occupied by Chinese Neolithic settlements starting 10 000 years ago, and rice cultivation there is probably the earliest in the world. The numerous Neolithic settlements identified by previous archaeological surveys represent the five major Neolithic cultural stages, i.e. the Pengtoushan (9000–7900 cal. yr BP), Zaoshixiaceng (7900–6800 cal. yr BP), Daxi (6800–5500 cal. yr BP), Q…
Migration patterns of Neolithic settlements on the abandoned Yellow and Yangtze River deltas of China
Archaeological records of the Neolithic settlements on the eastern China coast between 35°N and 30°N, an area covering the abandoned Yellow River and the Yangtze River delta plains, reveal that Neolithic people moved from the Yellow River basin onto the northern coast for fishing, hunting and dry-land agriculture ~ 7000 yr ago. Marine transgression interrupted their activities on the low-lying (2–5 m in elevation) coastal wetlands between 6000 an…
Marine sediment records and relative sea level change during late Pleistocene in the Changjiang delta area and adjacent continental shelf
Holocene climate fluctuations in the Yangtze delta of eastern China and the Neolithic response
Six major pollen-spore assemblage zones can be identified showing alternate warm and cool climate fluctuations on a millennial timescale. The early-Holocene optimum at c. 8000-7800 radiocarbon years BP, is marked by a large proportion of evergreen broad-leaf species in Zone I, suggesting the warmest/hottest climate setting of the Holocene. The mid-Holocene optimum ran from c. 7500 to 5000 BP (Zone III), during which many subtropical warmand wet-t…
The Yangtze River
Inundation, sea-level rise and transition from Neolithic to Bronze Age cultures, Yangtze Delta, China
Petrological, faunal and floral information derived from a new drill core taken in the Yangtze delta, coupled with data from borings recovered earlier, record a marked transition to warmer, wetter conditions which resulted in widespread inundation of the delta about 4000 years ago. Also identified for that time on the delta plain is a major discontinuity between the Neolithic Liangzhu and Bronze age Maqiao cultures. The cultural discontinuity is …
Quaternary Stratigraphy and Trace-Element Indices of the Yangtze Delta, Eastern China, with Special Reference to Marine Transgressions
The Quaternary stratigraphy of the Yangtze delta has been revealed by a deep (344.64 m) continuous borehole, the sediments of which are divided into four sections, the Early (Q 1 ), Middle (Q 2 ), and Late Pleistocene (Q 3 ), and the Holocene (Q 4 ). Six lithofacies include lacustrine, fluvial, coastal, drowned river channel, deltaic, and shallow marine in these time periods. The fluvial and lacustrine lithofacies prevailed during Q 1 and Q 2 ; c…
