The Khmer did not live by rice alone
Elusive wild foods in South East Asian subsistence
Early agriculture in Sri Lanka
A tale of two rice varieties
We model the prehistoric dispersals of two rice varieties, japonica and proto- indica, across Asia using empirical evidence drawn from an archaeobotanical dataset of 400 sites from mainland East, Southeast and South Asia. The approach is based on regression modelling wherein goodness of fit is obtained from log–log quantile regressions of the archaeologically inferred age versus a least-cost distance from the origin(s) of dispersal. The Fast Marc…
Fire Features at Akchakhan-kala and Tash-k’irman-tepe
Fire is an intrinsic aspect of Zoroastrian ritual and religious traditions. Akchakhan-kala can be conclusively linked with pre-Sasanian Zoroastrian practice through evidence from the recent discovery of murals depicting Avestan deities. Close similarities in apparently ritual features suggest that Tash-k’irman-tepe can also be linked to such traditions. Both sites also have a rich array of fire features which can be linked to respect for, and ven…

Phytolith identification criteria for foxtail and broomcorn millets
From Early Domesticated Rice of the Middle Yangtze Basin to Millet, Rice and Wheat Agriculture
Baligang is a Neolithic site on a northern tributary of the middle Yangtze and provides a long archaeobotanical sequence from the Seventh Millennium BC upto the First Millennium BC. It provides evidence for developments in rice and millet agriculture influenced by shifting cultural affiliation with the north (Yangshao and Longshan) and south (Qujialing and Shijiahe) between 4300 and 1800 BC. This paper reports on plant macro-remains (seeds), from…
The interplay of millets and rice in Neolithic central China
Baligang is a Neolithic site with a long occupation, from before 6300 BC up to the first millennium BC, although the bulk of excavated finds and archaeobotanical evidence from the site comes from the Yangshao, Qujialing, Shijiahe and Longshan (4300–1800 BC). The cultural group affiliation of the site varies between northern (Yangshao and Longshan) and southern (Qujialing and Shijiahe) cultural connections. The earliest occupation of the site repr…
Phytoliths as a tool for investigations of agricultural origins and dispersals around the world
Early Neolithic Trackways in the Thames Floodplain at Belmarsh, London Borough of Greenwich
Excavations in 2008 on the site of a proposed new prison at Belmarsh West, London Borough of Greenwich, found the heavily decayed remains of two superimposed Early Neolithic trackways. These structures, which are radiocarbon dated to the first quarter of the 4th millennium cal BC comprise some of the earliest structures yet encountered in the London Basin. The trackways were found towards the base of a peat sequence, immediately above the underly…
Phytoliths and rice
Archaeobotanical implications of phytolith assemblages from cultivated rice systems, wild rice stands and macro-regional patterns
Rice can be cultivated in a range of arable systems, including upland rainfed, lowland rainfed or irrigated, flooded or décrue, and deep water cultivation. These agricultural regimes represent ecosystems controlled to large degree by agricultural practices, and can be shown to produce different weed flora assemblages. In order to reconstruct early rice cultivation systems it is necessary to better establish how ancient rice farming practices may …
Landscape transformations of early rice agriculture
The Early Rice Project
Much of Asia depends on rice as a staple food, and so it has been for some thousands of years. Rice growing regions of East Asia, South-East Asia and the Indian subcontinent boast the world's highest population densities, and this is possible in large measure because of rice. While rice has featured in the agriculture of South and East Asia since prehistoric times, recent archaeological research has offered to new insights and raised new question…
The contribution of rice agriculture and livestock pastoralism to prehistoric methane levels
We review the origins and dispersal of rice in Asia based on a data base of 443 archaeobotanical reports. Evidence is considered in terms of quality, and especially whether there are data indicating the mode of cultivation, in flooded (‘paddy’ or ‘wet’) or non-flooded (‘dry’) fields. At present it appears that early rice cultivation in the Yangtze region and southern China was based on wet, paddy-field systems from early on, before 4000 bc, where…
