Differences in the level of precision and detail in these decorations, as well as the degree of skill required, also suggested that more time and effort were dedicated in the elaboration of decorations in artefacts made between ca. 9600 to 7900 years BP, compared to those made after ca. 6500 years BP.

For a long time, the floors of prehistoric artificial dwellings had served as a critical material for researchers to investigate prehistoric activities and delved into the structures and materials of building practices. Thus, in this study, a comprehensive analysis method that combined morphological, compositional, and physical property detection was employed to investigate the seven house floors from the late Neolithic period at <em>Shuanghuaishu</em> site (3500–3000 BCE). The results revealed three distinct types of floor structures: single-layer, double-layer, and multi-layer floors: the single-layer floors constructed from <em>ginger nut</em> (a quaternary deposit abundant in calcium carbonate) powder or fire-baked earth was commonly used as artificial dwelling floors during the late Neolithic age in China. The other two types mostly included untreated soil in the bottom layer as a cushion layer and a blend of <em>ginger nut</em>, river sand, and soil in the upper layers. Simulation experiments demonstrated that this floor design enhanced the floor’s strength and durability without compromising its moisture resistance. Notably, we discovered rare gypsum plastered floor layers in three cases, marking the first identification of such artificial structures in Neolithic China. Additionally, some floors showed needle fiber calcites deposited by biological factors on the surfaces, not from the lime plaster used.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Science-Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cessation of breastfeeding and this very brief weaning process was likely completed by ca. 1–1.5 years old. This early commencement of complementary feeding was most probably a deliberate social and cultural choice, supported by the presence of bowls and feeding spoons in the graves of very young babies and infants.
