A Preliminary Report on the Abugai Cave Site in Abaga Banner, Inner Mongolia
In the summer of 2022, a collaborative Paleolithic archaeological survey was conducted in Abaga Banner by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Inner Mongolia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, and the School of Archaeology and Museology of Peking University, etc. This investigation focused on the Abugai Cave site and its vicinity, collecting a diverse assemblage of artifacts…
Climate-driven early agricultural origins and development in the Nile Delta, Egypt
Refining the late-Holocene coastline and delta development of the northern Yangtze River delta
Historical documents provide a general chronological overview of the environmental evolution of the Yangtze River delta (YRD) during the last ca. 2000 years; however, absolute dating of the region’s late Holocene sediment is relatively rare. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating has been increasingly applied to the age determination of Holocene deposits in deltaic environments. In this study, three 23–27 m long drill cores running from s…
The earliest human occupation of the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau 40 thousand to 30 thousand years ago
Paleolithic occupation of Tibet Human colonization of the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau has generally been thought to have been confined to the past few thousand years of the Holocene. Zhang et al. report an investigation of the Nwya Devu archaeological site in central Tibet, 4600 meters above sea level, with Paleolithic occupation dates of ∼40 thousand to 30 thousand years ago (see the Perspective by Zhang and Dennell). The site has yielded a ra…
Optical dating of Holocene sediments from the Yangtze River (Changjiang) Delta, China
Multiple dating approaches applied to the recent sediments in the Yangtze River (Changjiang) subaqueous delta
The accumulation rate of recent deposits in a delta environment is critical to the study of delta dynamics and their sustainable management. The most commonly used dating approach for recent (<100 years) deposits is based on radionuclide analyses (e.g. 210 Pb, 137 Cs and 239 + 240 Pu), while alternative techniques, such as microplastics dating, are emerging. In this study, a 180-cm sediment core from the Yangtze River (Changjiang) subaqueous delt…
Late Pleistocene archaic human crania from Xuchang, China
Morphological mosaics in early Asian humans Excavations in eastern Asia are yielding information on human evolution and migration. Li et al. analyzed two fossil human skulls from central China, dated to 100,000 to 130,000 years ago. The crania elucidate the pattern of human morphological evolution in eastern Eurasia. Some features are ancestral and similar to those of earlier eastern Eurasian humans, some are derived and shared with contemporaneo…
