A Reappraisal of the Frontal Bone and Mandibles of Late Pleistocene Hominins From M aludong, Southwestern C hina
A New Human Humeral Fossil From the Early Holocene in Northeast China
Multidisciplinary analysis reveals the genetic origins, dietary structure and living conditions of Ming Great Wall residents in Shaanxi, China
New Stable Isotope Evidence Sheds Light on Childhood Dietary Shifts in Sichuan Basin After Sanxingdui Collapse
Recent archaeological work has unveiled the achievements of Sanxingdui Culture, yet research on the socioeconomic and demographic history of the northwestern Sichuan Basin following Sanxingdui's decline remains limited. In this study, we conducted the first stable isotope analysis of childhood feeding practices during the Shi'erqiao Culture period (3100–2800 cal. BP), the cultural phase immediately following the decline of Sanxingdui Culture (370…
Fingerprints on the Frontier
Fingerprints preserved on archaeological artifacts provide valuable insights into the characteristics of ancient populations. Research in this area has been limited, however, due to the scarcity and poor preservation of fingerprint impressions. In this study, we employed advanced archaeological science techniques to recover two fingerprint phenotypes from 2000‐year‐old ceramic tile remains unearthed at the Shichengzi site in Xinjiang, China. By c…

Tracing the domestication dynamics of Sus scrofa populations during the liangzhu culture periods
This paper investigates the domestication dynamics of Sus scrofa populations during the middle and late Liangzhu culture periods through an analysis of molar morphology. Utilizing archaeological data from sites such as Bianjiashan and Meirendi, we examine patterns in molar size and shape among wild boars and domestic pigs . Our findings reveal significant differences in M2 size between wild boars from Northern and Southern China, modern domestic …
Structural properties of the Late Pleistocene Liujiang femoral diaphyses from southern China
Impact of subsistence patterns on the overall configuration of bending rigidity along humeral diaphyses in modern humans
Migration in Bronze Age southern China
Reconstructing the history of elite communication in ancient China benefits from additional archaeological evidence. We combine textual analysis with new human stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data from two Chu burials in the Jingzhou area to reveal significant dietary differences among Chu nobles of the middle Warring States period (c. 350 BC). This research provides important new information on the close interaction between the aristocratic f…
Internal structural properties of the humeral diaphyses in an early modern human from Tianyuan Cave, China
Late Pleistocene partial femora from Maomaodong, southwestern China
The upper limb skeleton and behavioral lateralization of modern humans from Zhaoguo Cave, southwestern China
OBJECTIVES: Aims of the study are to initially describe and comparatively evaluate the morphology of the new Zhaoguo M1 upper limb remains, and contextualize upper limb functional adaptations among those of other worldwide Upper Paleolithic (UP) humans to make inferences about subsistence-related activity patterns in southwestern China at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The preserved Zhaoguo M1 skeletal remains include p…
Variation in the intertrochanteric line in a modern human population from southwestern China (19th–20th centuries)
The intertrochanteric line on the proximal human femur has been the focus of paleoanthropological study for several decades, as it is thought to be a defining characteristic of bipedalism. Expression of this trait is highly variable in human fossils. However, the relatively narrow range of modern human groups in which its expression has been documented limits understanding of its variability and interpretation of its meaning. Our study analyzed v…

A mandible from the Middle Pleistocene Hexian site and its significance in relation to the variability of Asian Homo erectus
Mandibular and dental features indicate that the Hexian mandible and teeth differ from northern Chinese H. erectus and European Middle Pleistocene hominins, but show some affinities with the Early Pleistocene specimens from Africa (Homo ergaster) and Java (H. erectus), as well as the Middle-Late Pleistocene mandible from Penghu, Taiwan. Compared to contemporaneous continental Asian hominin populations, the Hexian fossils may represent the surviva…
The thigh and leg of Homo naledi
Structural analysis of the femoral diaphyses of an early modern human from Tianyuan Cave, China
Micro-CT Imaging and Analysis of Enamel Defects on the Early Late Pleistocene Xujiayao Juvenile
Dental pathologies and enamel defects in East Asian hominins have rarely been reported. Here, we systematically document and describe a suite of enamel defects in the Xujiayao juvenile maxilla, an East Asian hominin from the early Late Pleistocene that may represent an unknown hominin lineage. In addition, we determine the chronology of growth disruptions represented by matched linear enamel hypoplasias, evaluate the long-held hypothesis that the…
