Sophisticated millet-pig agriculture fueled asynchronous social complexity in the Neolithic Chinese Loess Plateau
Intra- and interregional interactions contributed to the emergence of herding in the late prehistoric Upper Yellow River region (2500–1500 BCE)
This study examines the emergence and diversification of subsistence patterns in the Upper Yellow River region of northern China between 2500 and 1500 BCE through a systematic review of published archaeological evidence. Drawing on data from 54 settlement and burial sites, we investigate how domesticated herd animals—introduced from Central Asia and/or Mongolia—were incorporated into local subsistence practices and lifeways. The results demonstra…
The Circulation of Pearls in the Eastern and Western Worlds During the Neolithic Age
The Xihetan Site is a Neolithic site located in Jiuquan, Gansu Province, where a large number of white bead ornaments have been unearthed. Through various scientific analysis techniques, including ultra-depth microscopic observation, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), these bead ornaments were identified as having a…
Animal exploitation transformations in relation to geopolitical shifts from the Zhou to Han Dynasty in the Yellow River valley, China
Spatio-temporal changes in animal exploitation strategies and their influencing factors in the Yellow River valley in China have been extensively reviewed, particularly during the Neolithic to Bronze Age (~8000–1000 BCE). The Zhou to Han Dynasty (1046 BCE–220 CE) witnessed transitions from the era of kingdoms to the imperial age, as well as prehistoric transcontinental exchanges to opening of the Silk Road. However, the importance of geopolitical…
Multiple animal species along the Silk Roads underpinned jade mining in the Hexi Corridor of Warring States China
Varied animal-resource exploitation strategies sustained the late Neolithic settlement on the northeastern Tibetan plateau
Ancient DNA reveals the co-existence of domestic horses, donkeys, and their hybrids in the prehistorical northwestern China
Iron artefacts used at an ancient jade mine in the Hexi Corridor
This paper presents a study of 45 iron objects unearthed from the ancient Jingbao’er jade mining site in the western Hexi Corridor, dating from the Warring States period to the early West Han dynasty (about fourth–first centuries BCE). Metallographic and slag inclusion analyses were conducted to investigate the material features and their potential correlation with intended applications. Of the analysed items, 38 were made of cast iron, some of w…
Carious lesions as evidence for different adaptation strategies during the middle-late Holocene in the Gansu region, northwest China
The natural environment of the Gansu-Qinghai region in northwest China exhibits spatial variation, resulting in distinct adaptive strategies among populations in different geographical areas. In this study, we analyzed the diachronic trend and regional variations in caries prevalence among 10 different middle and late-Holocene groups by examining dental caries data to explore the correlation between different adaptation strategies and caries freq…

Sustainable intensification of millet–pig agriculture in Neolithic North China
Multiple Factors Affecting the Historical Development of Agriculture in the Hei River Basin, Northwestern China
The history of agricultural development is of great importance to understanding the evolution of human societies. In this respect, one important location is the Hei River Basin (HRB), an ecotone in northwestern China where prehistoric patterns of cultivation are known to have changed significantly. To identify the factors behind the subsequent development of agriculture in the HRB in the historical period, a hitherto under-researched topic, we em…
Mixed economy and dried foods
Situated in the middle Hexi corridor, a vital passage of the ancient Silk Road, the Heishuiguo site was a military town on the northwestern frontier of the Han Dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE). To understand the lifestyle of the Heishuiguo population, levels of dental caries and tooth wear were assessed. Archaeological findings and historical records revealed a mixed subsistence strategy dependent upon agricultural production and domesticated animals at …
Shift in Subsistence Crop Dominance from Broomcorn Millet to Foxtail Millet Around 5500 BP in the Western Loess Plateau
Direct dating of the earliest domesticated cattle and caprines in northwestern China reveals the history of pastoralism in the Gansu-Qinghai region
Prehistoric firewood gathering on the northeast Tibetan plateau
Foraging and farming
Archaeological research has documented the migration of Neolithic farmers onto the Tibetan Plateau by 4000 BC. How these incoming groups interacted, if at all, with local indigenous foragers, however, remains unclear. New archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological data from the Zongri site in the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau suggest that local foragers continued to hunt but supplemented their diet with agricultural products in the form of millet. Th…
Human settlement and wood utilization along the mainstream of Heihe River basin, northwest China in historical period
Chronology and Plant Utilization from the Earliest Walled Settlement in the Hexi Corridor, Northwestern China
The development and subsistence strategies adopted in ancient settlements are crucial to the understanding of long-term human–environmental interaction in the past. Here, we reassess the chronology of the ancient walled settlement of Sanjiao in the Hexi Corridor in northwestern China through accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS 14 C) dating and explore the subsistence of the settlers inside through the identification of carbonized seeds…
Prehistoric trans-continental cultural exchange in the Hexi Corridor, northwest China
We report dozens of direct radiocarbon dates on charred grains from 22 archaeological sites of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages in the Hexi Corridor, northwest China, a key region for trans-Eurasian exchange in prehistoric and historical times. These charred grains include remains of wheat and barley domesticated in southwest Asia and broomcorn and foxtail millet which originated from north China. Together with previously published radiocarbon dates…
Copper content in anthropogenic sediments as a tracer for detecting smelting activities and its impact on environment during prehistoric period in Hexi Corridor, Northwest China
The Hexi Corridor of northwestern China was a principal axis of cultural interchange between eastern and western Eurasia during the prehistoric and historic epochs. Neolithic groups began dense settlements in Hexi Corridor after 4300 BP with millet crops and polychrome pottery from north China and bronze from Central Asia around 4000 BP accompanied by wheat, barley, and sheep. The impact of these activities on the environment during the late Neol…
