  • Archaeology of Southeast China and the Search for an Austronesian Homeland

    Tianlong JiaoARTICLESocial Sciences in China2021

    Widely recognized as the ultimate homeland of the Austronesians, Southeast China’s archaeological records bear direct implications for understanding the chronology, seafaring and the impetus of the proto-Austronesian expansions. The available evidence demonstrates that as early as 8300 BP, the ancestors of the Austronesians started to explore the offshore islands in Southeast China. By 5000 BP, with the breakthrough of long-distance seafaring ski…

  • The Neolithic Archaeology of Southeast China

    Open AccessTianlong JiaoOTHERA Companion to Chinese Archaeology2013

    Southeast China, including today's southern Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, Hong Kong, and Macau, is a unique region in Chinese Neolithic archaeology. This chapter describes the current understanding of the Neolithic cultures of southeast China. It focuses on a number of major archaeological sites and their significance in our knowledge of southeast China's prehistory. The chapter illustrates that the earliest Neolithic cultures in the…

  • Radiocarbon dating of charcoal and bone collagen associated with early pottery at Yuchanyan Cave, Hunan Province, China

    Open AccessElisabetta Boaretto, Xiaohong Wu et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2009

    Yuchanyan Cave in Daoxian County, Hunan Province (People's Republic of China), yielded fragmentary remains of 2 or more ceramic vessels, in addition to large amounts of ash, a rich animal bone assemblage, cobble and flake artifacts, bone tools, and shell tools. The artifacts indicate that the cave was a Late Paleolithic foragers' camp. Here we report on the radiocarbon ages of the sediments based on analyses of charcoal and bone collagen. The bes…

  • Geological Sourcing of Volcanic Stone Adzes from Neolithic Sites in Southeast China

    Barry V Rolett, Zhengfu Guo et al.ARTICLEAsian perspectives2007

    This study uses XRF (X-ray fluorescence) and ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) analyses to determine the chemical composition of raw material used in stone tool production. The goal is to identify where stone adzes, which are common in Neolithic sites on the coast of Mainland China, were produced and if they were transported from the production areas to other places. Our study focuses on adzes from three Neolithic sites locate…

  • Environment and culture change in Neolithic Southeast China

    Open AccessTianlong JiaoARTICLEAntiquity2006References: 9

    How did the Neolithic begin and develop in Southeast China? The author uses a highly detailed sequence of changes in sea-level, climate and vegetation to provide the back-drop - and some explanations - for the distinctive maritime community of the Taiwan Strait, whose descendants are thought to have colonised the Pacific

  • Tracking neolithic interactions in southeast China

    Open AccessZhengfu Guo, Tianlong Jiao et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2005Cited by: 2References: 3

    The authors conducted a sourcing study of stone adzes recently excavated from the Damaoshan site on Dongshan Island, Fujian province, China. They used XRF, ICP‐MS, and petrographic thin‐section techniques for geochemical and petrographic analysis of six stone adzes from the site and three geological samples from Dongshan Island. The chemical data of these samples compared with other lavas in Fujian, Zhejiang, Penghu, and Taiwan suggest that the D…

  • Early Seafaring in the Taiwan Strait and the Search for Austronesian Origins

    Tianlong Jiao, Jiao Tianlong et al.ARTICLEJournal of East Asian Archaeology2002Cited by: 9

    The Neolithic cultures of southeast China and Taiwan take on increased significance when considered in light of current debate over Austronesian origins. Austronesian speakers emerged from a homeland in China or Island Southeast Asia around 6000 years ago. Their descendants, including the Polynesians, effected an extraordinary series of migrations that culminated in the systematic discovery and colonization of remote landfalls as far-flung as Eas…
