  • Plant remains unearthed at the Donghulin site in Beijing

    Zhijun Zhao, Chaohong Zhao et al.ARTICLEChinese Archaeology2021

    A number of charred plant seeds were recovered from the Donghulin site by means of flotation. The site is located in suburban Beijing and dates from 11,000 to 9000 BP. A total of 14 charred grains of foxtail millet have been collected and identified as of the domesticated species ( Setaria italica ) according to morphological analysis. One grain of broomcorn millet was also identified. These are the earliest domesticated millet grains recovered b…

  • The physical evolution and biocultural adaptation indicated by the human skeletons of Donghulin site, Beijing

    Jianing He, Chaohong Zhao et al.ARTICLEChinese Archaeology2021

    Human remains recovered from the Donghulin site are key materials for the study of the physical evolution and biocultural adaptation of the North Chinese population during the early Holocene. Physical anthropological study of the skeletal remains of two Donghulin individuals shows that their craniofacial heterogeneity and diversity are comparable to that of the Upper Paleolithic population. Early Holocene is the critical period for the formation …

  • Comparing subsistence strategies in different landscapes of North China 10,000 years ago

    Open AccessXiaoyan Yang, Zhikun Ma et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2015Cited by: 8References: 9

    A recent switch in the study of the beginning of agriculture is to demonstrate the increasingly closer interaction between people and the landscape and how this would have played a crucial role in the transition to agriculture. Understanding the palaeo-ecology of the local environments at key sites and its relationship with subsistence strategies is critical to an improved appreciation of such interactions. This article examines macro- and micro-…

  • Determining the Firing Temperature of Low‐Fired Ancient Pottery

    Open AccessJianxin Zhu, Yang Zhang et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2014Cited by: 3References: 8

    The traditional thermal expansion method using a dilatometer fails to accurately determine the original firing temperatures of low‐fired ancient pottery. For this reason, we have developed an improved method of determining firing temperatures for low‐fired pottery. This paper explains the theory of the improved method and presents the reasonably satisfactory results obtained on ancient pottery from the D onghulin site ( c . 10 000 bp ). The metho…

  • Early millet use in northern China

    Open AccessXiaoyan Yang, Zhiwei Wan et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2012

    It is generally understood that foxtail millet and broomcorn millet were initially domesticated in Northern China where they eventually became the dominant plant food crops. The rarity of older archaeological sites and archaeobotanical work in the region, however, renders both the origins of these plants and their processes of domestication poorly understood. Here we present ancient starch grain assemblages recovered from cultural deposits, inclu…

  • A study on an early Neolithic site in North China

    Open AccessChaodong Zhao, Jincheng Yu et al.ARTICLEDocumenta Praehistorica2003Cited by: 2

    These are few sites about 10 000 BP in the early Neolithic period in North China; among these, the Donghulin site is the only one which included the remains of peoples' use of fire (hearth pits), stone implements, pottery objects, and human tombs. The excavation of the Donghulin site in 2001 provides very important information for research on people and culture in the early Neolithic period in North China. The finding of Donghulin Man has filled …
