How large was the daily hunting range of prehistoric high-altitude populations in hypoxic environments? — evidence from 87Sr/86Sr, δ13C, and δ18O analyses of archaeological animal teeth
Limited archaeological evidence from low-altitude settings suggests terrestrial prey-procurement and hunting ranges of approximately 15–20 km. Whether this range changed under high-altitude hypoxic conditions, however, remains unclear. The Mabu Co site, a lakeside site in the southern Tibetan Plateau dating to 5000–2000 BP, is located at an altitude of 4420–4465 m. Wild faunal remains recovered from the site indicate that hunting was practiced th…
A Pilot Study of Shell Ornaments From the Gebusailu Site in Xizang, China
Shell ornaments excavated from the Gebusailu Site in the Xizang Autonomous Region of China, dating back to 750 BC , were analyzed to study their geographic origin, manufacturing process and preservation state. Concretely, they were investigated by ultra‐depth microscope (SDM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), X‐ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP…
New discovery of iron smelting in central Xizang
Study on the glazed tiles of the Wenjiangduo site, Tibet, China (7th–9th centuries CE)
The Central Plains of China have a long history of using glazed tiles on high‐level architectural structures. This architectural practice also had a profound impact on ancient Tibet. This study selected glazed tiles belonging to the Tubo period (7th–9th centuries CE), unearthed from the Wenjiangduo site, Lhasa city, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. A series of scientific analyses are presented, including X‐ray fluorescence, optical microscopy, sca…
Ancient DNA insights into Neolithic bone-tool use on the Tibetan Plateau
Early evidence of naked barley in western Tibet
Despite being almost 4000m above sea level, cereal crops have been grown in the Ngari Prefecture on the Tibetan Plateau for thousands of years. Where and when domestic crop species adapted to high-altitude growing conditions is a matter of ongoing debate. Here, the authors present a new radiocarbon date from the Gepa serul cemetery, providing the earliest evidence of naked six-rowed barley in Tibet (c. 3500 BP). Evaluating the available evidence …
High-elevation sheep and goat provisioning on the Tibetan Plateau, 3000-2200 BP
High-elevation environments present harsh challenges for the pursuit of agropastoral subsistence strategies and relatively little is known about the mechanisms early communities employed to adapt to such locations successfully. This article presents the sequential carbon and oxygen analysis of archaeological caprine teeth from Bangga (c. 3000-2200 BP), which is approximately 3750masl on the Tibetan Plateau. Made visible through this method, intra…
High lamb natural mortality versus specialized culling at Bangga on the southern Tibetan Plateau 3000 BP
Pastoralism has a long history on the high-elevation Tibetan Plateau. However, the specific risks faced by early flocks on the plateau and ways that herders managed their animals have not been well explored. Dated to the third millennium BP, the archeological settlement of Bangga represents an early agro-pastoral community at 3800 m above sea level (m a.s.l.) and a rare opportunity to examine these issues. Mortality profiles have been a powerful …
The earliest metal in western Tibet
The earliest copperwares excavated in western Tibet to date were found in the Gepa Serul cemetery in Zanda county, Ngari prefecture, Tibet, China, which can be dated to c .3600–3000 bp . This significant archaeological discovery provides valuable materials for the study of early metallurgy in prehistoric Tibet. This research applies scientific methods involving scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (SEM‐EDS), X‐ray fluo…
Farming and multi-resource subsistence in the third and second millennium BC
New evidence of long-distance interaction across the Himalayas
Early agropastoral settlement and cultural change in central Tibet in the first millennium BC
Archaeological research demonstrates that an agropastoral economy was established in Tibet during the second millennium BC, aided by the cultivation of barley introduced from South-western Asia. The exact cultural contexts of the emergence and development of agropastoralism in Tibet, however, remain obscure. Recent excavations at the site of Bangga provide new evidence for settled agropastoralism in central Tibet, demonstrating a material diverge…
The transition to a barley-dominant cultivation system in Tibet
New evidence for early human habitation in the Nyingchi Region, Southeast Tibetan Plateau
The lack of archaeological work has long impeded our understanding of prehistoric and historical human inhabitation and East-West interactions on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP). In this study, we conducted a series of systematic archaeological investigations in the Nyingchi region, on the southeastern TP. We examined archaeological stratigraphies from 10 sites and collected charred seeds and charcoals for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS…
