The Population of the Juyan Frontier Region during the Western Han Dynasty Based on Epigraphic Sources
The article presents a comprehensive study of the population structure in the Juyan frontier region (modern Inner Mongolia/Gansu) during the Western Han dynasty (2 nd – 1 st cent. BCE), based on data from epigraphic sources – Han wooden and bamboo slips hanjian discovered during excavations of military garrisons, frontier passes, and watchtowers along the Hexi Corridor. The aim of the work is to reconstruct the demographic and social landscape of…
Development and Defense of the Hexi Corridor in Northwestern China during the Western Han Period (Evidence of the Hanjian Wooden Slips)
During the Western Han period, many years of fierce clashes with the Xiongnu resulted in annexation of the Hexi Corridor to the Han Empire. This was a strategically important ancient oasis stretching for 1200 km and connecting the Central China with its northwestern frontiers bordering the nomadic world. Emperor Wu-di founded four prefectures in the new territories. The Great Wall was expanded for their security, and over time over a thousand wat…
Tibetan Buddhism in Qing China’s Policy of Integration of Tibet and Mongolia
After several successful military campaigns aimed to expand and strengthen the Qing state’s borders, the Manchu rulers faced the challenge of integrating culturally diverse regions into their growing empire. Many researchers believe that the Manchu rulers’ interest in Buddhism was linked to a desire to comprehensively control Tibet and Mongolia, as well as to limit the significant influence of lamas on people living in these regions. Thus, the em…
Baodun Culture in the Context of the Emergence of Rice Cultivation in the Sichuan Basin
The Baodun culture, localized on the Chengdu Plain of the Sichuan Basin, is dated to the 3rd–early 2nd millennium BCЕ. The subject of this study is new data on the culture from the excavations of 2021–2023, which showed that the ancient people of Baodun practiced paddy rice cultivation, which apparently formed the basis of their diet in combination with millet cultivation. Gathering and hunting provided additional resources. The new data initiate…
Kayukovo Culture Sites during Investigations of Archaeological Objects Located in Peat Deposits of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra
The Kayukovo culture sites are located in the central part of the Demyan-Vasyugan swamp system, on the watershed of the Bolshoy Salym and Bolshoy Yugan rivers, near the Bolshoye Kayukovo Lake. Swamping of this territory began in the early Holocene (about 11.7 thousand years ago) and has significantly changed the landscape of the area by now. During this time, the swamp ecosystem has hidden the original historical relief, which prevented the study…

The Beginning of Chinese Cavalry and the Use of Horses in Northwest of Han Empire
The article examines the processes of the gradual introduction of cavalry troops based on the “barbarian model” into the Chinese army to counter the nomads near the northwestern borders of the empire. The author gives some examples from the written sources of the Zhanguo and Qin Dynasty periods, presenting the gradual transformation of the role of the horse rider as a separate combat unit, but also in combination with chariots. During the Han dyn…
Technological Features of Early Ceramics of the Northeastern China
This article investigates the materials from recent excavations of the Neolithic sites in the Northeastern China, where the pottery dated back to more than 10,000 years BP was discovered. The author considered two early Neolithic sites in the Nenjiang River basin in the territory of modern Jilin province, Houtaomuga (its earliest layer), Shuangta, as well as the later one, Changtuozi-3. The comparison with the traditions of the archaeological cul…
The Latest Data on the Sanxingdui Culture
This article presents the data on the excavation at the Sanxingdui site in the the field season of 2021. Six more sacrificial pits ranging in size from 3.5 to 19 sq. m were added to two pits investigated in 1986. The inventory discovered inside is of exceptional wealth and includes bronze and gold masks, ritual vessels, and other cultic objects (altar, solar “wheel,” fragments of bronze trees). As a rule, metal objects were covered with the layer…
Millet-Growing Rituals of Indigenous Peoples of Taiwan Island
Millet is one of the first agricultural crops appeared on the Taiwan island in the Neolithic. However, its share in the diet of the ancient population of the island compared to another culture, i.e. rice, remains rather unclear. Today’s indigenous peoples have legends that emphasize a special attitude to millet as the first crop that appeared in their land. This paper considers the results of scientific investigations held in the south of the Tai…
Southern Boundaries of Osipovka Cultural Area
The article concentrates on the Early Neolithic Osipovka culture of the Lower Amur and its southern boundaries. Due to the resumption of excavations at the Xiaonanshan site in the left bank of Ussuri River, Heilongjiang province, China, recently, it has become possible to conduct a comparative study of technical and typological characteristics of the ceramic material of these two territories. The following features were revealed: 1. Ceramics in b…
Chicken Domestication in Early Holocene of Northern and Central China
In this article the authors consider the bone remains of chicken, the most common bird species on Earth, at thearchaeological sites of the Neolithic and Bronze Age in the Northern and Central China. The authors also analyze somehypotheses on the processes of domestication of birds in this region. Currently, the domestication of chicken in northern China dates back to 6000—8000 years BC, but in recent years in the scientific literature there are a…
A Fundamental Investigation of the Early Neolithic of Southern China
The reviewed investigation made by Stanisław Robert Kuczera “The Antique and Ancient History of China. Early Neolithic of the South” (Moscow, St. Peterburg, Nestor-Istoriya, 2020, 596 p.) provides an overview of the main early Neolithic complexes in the south of China. The work has been carried out for several dozens of years and is based on the analysis of more than 2000 different scientific publications. In terms of its depth and thoroughness o…
Ceramics of Early Neolithic Cultures of the Lower Amur Basin in the Context of Intercultural Relations
This investigation is based on a comparative analysis of the ceramic material of the Neolithic cultures of the Lower Priamurye – Malyshevo, Kondon, Voznesenskoye – and cultures of neighboring territories of the northeast of China. Technological, morphological and decorative features are persistent markers, that are often preserved in other cultural contexts. Their analysis allows us to partially trace the signs of the interaction of different tra…
Neolithic Cultures of Northeastern China and Their Relations with the Adjacent Territories (Chinese Research)
Morphological Analysis of Vessels with the Neck of the Paleometal Age from the Amur Region and Southern Manchuria
Traditions of Food Consumption among the Neolithic Population of the Southern Taiwan (Based on Materials of the Oluanpi-2 Site)
Nankuanli and Nankuanli Tung Archaeological Sites in the Context of the Reconstruction of the Economy of the Taiwan Early Neolithic Population
In the 1960s, K.C. Chang proposed that Tapenkeng (Dabenkeng) inhabitants could be migrants from mainland China to the island and the ancestors of modern indigenous peoples. The first settlers could be characterized by corded pottery, a wide range of fishing tools, polished stone axes and adzes, marine economy and shell ornaments. The article presents the results of investigations of archaeological sites in Tainan County – Nankuanli (Nanguangli) a…
