Black pottery production and distribution in the Late Neolithic Liangzhu Site Complex (2850–2600 BCE) in the Yangzi Delta (China)
This article reassesses the political economy of the Late Neolithic Liangzhu Site Complex through an integrated analysis of pottery production and circulation. Liangzhu is frequently portrayed as an early state characterized by centralized elite control over specialized craft industries, particularly jade and black pottery. To evaluate this model, we combine macro-, meso-, and micro-level analysis of complete vessels and sherd assemblages, focusi…
The Origin and Circulation of Cinnabar in Neolithic Age of China
Cinnabar, valued for its blood‐like hue endowed with spiritual and religious symbolism, constituted one of the most prized pigments in ancient China. This material was extensively applied in lacquerware production during the Liangzhu culture (3300–2300 bce ). Our analytical approach employed EA‐IRMS and MC‐ICP‐MS to respectively characterize sulfur and mercury isotopes in Liangzhu cinnabar artifacts and cinnabar ores. Results revealed that combin…
Use of lacquer collected from Toxicodendron succedaneum for the Neolithic lacquerware detected in Zhejiang Province of China
Toxicodendron succedaneum lacquer was used during Neolithic period in eastern China. • No lacquer coating from Toxicodendron vernicifluum was found at four studied sites. • Use of Toxicodendron succedaneum lacquer agrees with present distribution in China. Lacquer coatings of lacquerware excavated from four Neolithic sites in Zhejiang Province of eastern China were analyzed with Py-GC/MS analysis. The studied lacquered objects were recovered at t…
Architectural technology and labour organisation at the late Neolithic Liangzhu City, Yangtze Delta region, China
Building the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site of Liangzhu City and its hinterlands was an enormous undertaking that required an unprecedented level of architectural innovations, clever logistic planning, and sophisticated labour organisation. We draw on environmental, archaeological and experimental data on the preparation and construction of grass-wrapped clay blocks at the Liangzhu City and investigate the importance of technological innovat…
A functional study of ground stone knives and sickles in the Lower Yangtze River Region during the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age
Liangzhu’s Story of Stone
Intensification of rice farming and its environmental consequences recorded in a Liangzhu reservoir, China
Life near the water
The Liangzhu City site, located in the center of the Liangzhu Culture (3300–2300 cal. BC), is characterized by gigantic earthen mounds containing about 10 million m 3 of earth, as well as crisscrossed waterways that flow through the mounds. This study presents a geoarchaeological study of a mound structure adjacent to the South Zhongjiagang channel of Liangzhu City. By applying soil micromorphological and associated bulk sedimentological analyses…
A 7000‐year record of environmental change
The Hangjiahu Plain in the lower Yangtze is one of the core areas that sustained the flourishment of the Liangzhu Civilization. This study reconstructed Holocene environmental change on the Hangjiahu Plain based on a sediment core collected from the Tangqi ZK‐3 location situated on the low‐lying Hangzhou‐Taihu region of the Yangtze Delta. We applied OSL dating, grain size analysis, pollen analysis, and magnetic susceptibility to reconstruct Holoc…
Letting the stones speak
Our interdisciplinary investigation of the stone collection and construction process of Liangzhu City walls offers important evidence to understand the engineering and organization behind the construction. We examined spatial distributions, physical and petrological characteristics of the stones discovered from our excavations of representative wall sections. These results were compared with similar aspects as well as sedimentation contexts and a…
