Diverse life histories and childhood socialization during the middle and late Dawenkou period: Incremental dentin isotope evidence from the Jiaojia site, China
Investigating childhood socialization can enhance our comprehensions of families and the overall society in the past. Previous studies paid little attention to subadults, and the evidence on the intergenerational inheritance of wealth and status is still lacking. Stable isotope analysis of incremental dentin and bones enables the reconstruction of individual life histories and provides a new dimension to the study of social stratification and chi…
Elixir and Archaeotoxicology: Mercury Levels in the Bones of Populations in Ancient China
Mercury and cinnabar were widely used in ancient China. This study aims to assess mercury exposure in ancient Chinese populations and analyze the causes of different mercury exposure patterns. Total mercury (THg) concentration was measured in 99 human skeletal samples across five archaeological sites (fifth century bce to 19th century) in the middle and lower Yellow River regions, using cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CV‐AAS). Elevated…
Bioarchaeological reconstruction of social identity among satellite tombs in Shangzhaoyao Qin mausoleum, China
Interpretation of social identity for individuals buried in peripheral locations in Warring States Qin mausoleums (after c . 325 BC) is largely based on considerations of associated artefacts and distance from the central tomb; bioarchaeological evidence is limited. This article interrogates osteological indicators of lifelong health and activity patterns in individuals buried between the boundary ditches of the Shangzhaoyao Qin mausoleum, near X…
Exploring Division of Labor at the Jiaojia Site in the Late Neolithic Period, Eastern China Using Entheseal Changes as Proxy
The investigation of activity patterns has consistently been a significant objective in bioarchaeological research. As distinct skeletal markers, entheseal changes (ECs) have been extensively used to reconstruct the habitual behaviors of ancient populations. In this study, we conducted an analysis to identify differences in physical activity between sexes and across two distinct socioeconomic groups at the Jiaojia site (ca. 2911–2491 b.c .) durin…
Perinatal death and funerary treatment in Neolithic China: A bioarchaeological study on infant skeletal remains in jar burials at the Dongtantou Site, Jiangsu Province
Human diet and social complexity during the middle and late Dawenkou period at the Jiaojia Site, China
A life course study of the Beixin culture residents from the Neolithic site of Xiaheqiadong, Shandong Province, China
The Xiaheqiadong site located in Zhangqiu district, Jinan city, Shandong province, China, was excavated in 2016 by the Jinan Institute of Archaeology, which revealed six single burials dating to the Beixin culture period (ca. 5,300–4,500 BC to ca. 4,100–3,600 BC). This paper used bioarchaeological methods to study the human skeletal remains to reconstruct the life course of the residents of the Beixin culture at the Xiaheqiadong site, focusing on…
The intersection of diet, class, and sex during the Eastern Zhou (770-221 BCE): Bioarchaeological evidence from the Dahan cemetery, China
The Eastern Zhou (770-221 BCE) was an important period of social transformation in ancient China. The development of class- and gender-based stratification of this period had profound effects on human diet. We aim to examine the relationships among diet, class, and sex (as a proxy for gender) during this period through comparative investigations of noble individuals and sacrificial human companions. We analyzed the stable carbon and nitrogen isot…
Postmortem treatment of preterm infants at the Gangshang site during the Late Neolithic period, Shandong Province, China
Jar burial is a particular burial practice generally used in the Neolithic period of China. However, the rarity of finding prenatal individuals limits the ability to study their treatment in jar burial contexts. In this paper, to study the postmortem treatment of this specific age further, we focus on three jar burials of infant individuals excavated in 2021 at the Gangshang site in China, where the skeletal remains were relatively well preserved…
Case study of a special burial resulting from obstetric death at the Sanbulijia site, Shandong Province, China
Many young women were believed to die due to pregnancy and childbirth in the past, yet few cases of pregnant female burials have been reported in bioarcheological literature. Therefore, this paper reports the burial of an adult female (H49-1) and her infant (H49-2), who were buried together in an early Western Zhou pit at the Sanbulijia site, Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China. It is the first reported case of obstetric death in thePre-…
Dietary shift and the development of millet agriculture in Haidai region of China during the early and middle Neolithic periods (c. 8,300 BP–c. 6,000 BP): Evidence from stable isotopes
Ancient DNA indicates human population shifts and admixture in northern and southern China
A genetic history of China The history of human movements into and within China has been difficult to determine solely from archaeological investigations or genetic studies of contemporary peoples. Yang et al. sequenced DNA from 26 individuals from 9500 to 300 years ago from locations within China. Analyses of these individuals, along with previously sequenced ancient individuals and present-day genomes representing global populations, show a spl…
Two probable cases of mastoiditis in a cemetery from the Warring States to Han Dynasty (475 BCE–220 CE) in Qufu, Shandong Province, China
Osteological characteristics of Chinese foot-binding in archaeological remains
The rise of metafiction in China
Though it would be almost impossible to trace who first applied the term 'Avant-Garde fiction' (Xianfeng Xiaoshuo ) to a recent trend in Chinese fiction since 1985, it is an appropriate name in many respects. All the previous schools of fiction in modern China-Wound fiction (Shangheng Xiaoshuo ), Reform fiction (Gaige Xiaoshuo ), Re-thinking fiction (Fansi Xiaowen ), or Roots-Seeking fiction (Xungen Xiaoshuo )-received their names after their res…
