Advances in Zooarchaeological and Biomolecular Approaches to the Study of Goats in Ancient China
Goats played important economic, ecological, and social roles in ancient China. After their initial domestication in western Eurasia, goats entered China through trans-Eurasian interaction networks and were gradually incorporated into diverse agropastoral systems, ritual practices, and regional economies. However, goats have often remained analytically obscured within broad categories such as “sheep/goat” or “ovicaprids”, while relevant evidence …

Ancient goat DNA reveals East–West cultural interaction across Eurasia
Throughout the long history of cultural interaction between the East and the West, the Eurasian continent has served as a central hub facilitating diverse forms of exchange, including the circulation of materials, technological transmission, and human migration. Such interactions were often accompanied by the dispersal of domestic animals. As one of the earliest animals domesticated by humans, goats ( Capra hircus ) are closely associated with hu…

Ancient DNA Reveals Genetic Diversity of Ancient Residents in Pingcheng City During the Northern Wei Dynasty of China (386–534 ce )
The Northern Wei Dynasty was a regime established by the Xianbei people. During this period, immigration policies aided the development of Pingcheng. In‐depth research on the complex population history in the Pingcheng City area during the Northern Wei Dynasty can help explore the multiethnic integration and cultural exchange in northern China at that time. In this study, 20 individuals from the Erzhong Tombs near Pingcheng City were chosen for w…
Decoding the evolution and mechanism of urban carbon emission efficiency: A perspective of urban scaling law
The impact of commercial land housing on residential land housing in China: A perspective of housing submarkets
While existing literature has explored the relationship between various housing submarkets from the supply and demand sides, few have examined the impact of commercial land (CL) housing on residential land (RL) housing. CL housing, a novel form of informal housing in China, violates land management regulations by converting commercial buildings for residential use, whereas RL housing constitutes the formal market. This study develops a theoretica…

Ancient genomes reveal the origin and kinship burial patterns of human remains during the 11th to 13th centuries in northern China
The analysis of familial relationships among individuals co-buried in a shared tomb is crucial for understanding burial practices and the underlying social organization of ancient human society. However, archaeological interpretation of these relationships has traditionally relied on conjecture and circumstantial evidence. The development of next-generation sequencing technologies makes it possible to obtain genomic data from ancient individuals …

Ancient DNA reveals two paternal lineages C2a1a1b1a/F3830 and C2b1b/F845 in past nomadic peoples distributed on the Mongolian Plateau
OBJECTIVES: Since the third century CE, a series of nomadic tribes have been active on the eastern part of the Mongolian Plateau. Characterizing the genetic compositions of past nomadic people is significant for research on the nomadic cultures of the Eurasian Steppe region. Ancient DNA analysis facilitates a deeper understanding of the relationship between historical and modern nomadic populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Whole-genome shotgun seq…

Molecular genetic analysis of remains from Lamadong cemetery, Liaoning, China
The Xianbei existed as a remarkable nomadic tribe in northeastern China for three dynasties: the Han, Jin, and Northern‐Southern dynasties (206 BC to 581 AD) in Chinese history. A very important subtribe of the Xianbei is the Murong Xianbei. To investigate the genetic structure of the Murong Xianbei population and to address its genetic relationships with other nomadic tribes at a molecular level, we analyzed the control region sequences and codi…

Subsistence strategies in the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age in Nenjiang River Basin: A zooarchaeological and stable isotope analysis of faunal remains at Honghe site, Northeast China
The Nenjiang River Basin, located in the northern part of Northeast China, is an important cultural region that has attracted much attention from academic communities. Previous studies demonstrated that hunting and gathering always dominate the subsistence for prehistoric populations in this region. Herein, we further investigate the evolution of dietary and economic strategies in the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age occupations at the recently exca…

Mitochondrial Genome of an 8,400-Year-Old Individual from Northern China Reveals a Novel Subclade under C5d
Ancient DNA studies have always refreshed our understanding of the human past that cannot be tracked by modern DNA alone. Until recently, ancient mitochondrial genomic studies in East Asia were still very limited. Here, we retrieved the whole mitochondrial genome of an 8,400-year-old individual from Inner Mongolia, China. Phylogenetic analyses show that the individual belongs to a previously undescribed clade under haplogroup C5d that most probab…
