During this time, many settlements in Northwest China exhibited a diverse range of pottery styles, suggesting possible interactions between different communities. Recent excavations at the Lajia site in the He-Huang Region provide new evidence for examining the technological and stylistic connections between the pottery assemblages of different styles. Integrated macroscopic examination, petrographic analysis, and chemical composition analysis reveal that while pottery vessels of various styles at Lajia predominantly used high-calcium clays, there were significant technological differences in raw material processing, forming, surface treatment, and firing techniques. All Qijia-style pottery, along with some Eastern-style pottery, appear to have been locally produced, while Machang-style pottery was likely produced in areas with similar geological conditions and exchanged over short distances. A small number of Eastern-style and Xichengyi-style pottery vessels were likely introduced through long-distance exchange. Despite their limited quantities, these non-local products provide compelling evidence for long-distance exchange networks extending to the Tao River Basin, the Hexi Corridor and further regions during the late third to early second millennium BCE. This study suggests that the Eastern He-Huang Region during the late Neolithic to the early Bronze Age functioned as a cultural hub, where material traditions and technological knowledge from eastern and western spheres converged.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8214,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences","volume":"17 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145162344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This analysis will help clarify the processes involved in their production and use. Analyses revealed the division of investigated clay artefacts into three groups: daub produced from local material (Type 1); vessel or <i>tabun</i> (oven) fragments, some of them from local soil (Type 2) and sherds of a vessel/vessels that was/were probably imported from outside the region (Type 3). Only Type 2, categorised as vessel or <i>tabun</i> fragments, was intentionally affected by fire. Specifically, Type 2B was exposed to temperatures higher than 700 °C.

To address our research questions, we employed a multifaceted approach that includes the analysis of the relative abundance of deer across more than 140 zooarchaeological assemblages, spatial density analysis to understand diachronic and regional patterns, correlations between annual precipitation and deer abundance, and multivariate statistics. These methods enable us to examine regional and diachronic variation in the role of deer within subsistence economies and for non-economic use. Our findings highlight several key insights: first, motivations for hunting deer stemmed from diverse factors that varied diachronically; second, assemblages containing a higher abundance of deer bones were typically located close to water sources or in areas with higher humidity; and third, deer meat, bones, and antlers were used for non-subsistence purposes, including but not limited to markers of social prestige, ritual activities, and medicinal practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8214,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences","volume":"17 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145171753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gradual exposure of encapsulated sediments due to erosional processes driven by post-depositional agents led to the uncovering of these lithic clusters. Notably, the absence of inter-cluster/locus refits and conjoins at three nearby clusters suggests that lithic materials remained largely confined within their respective clusters, implying minimal movement of unfinished blanks across the site. Locally available fine-grained quartzite was primarily exploited as raw materials, emphasizing the role of regional lithic resources in lithic production. The refitting analysis provides critical insights into the technological approaches employed in both Levallois and discoid reduction, marking a significant contribution to South Asian Middle Palaeolithic studies. The complete sequence of discoid core exploitation, from initial reduction to discard, and the multiple rounds of Levallois reduction including preparation and production stages, reconstructed through refitting, enhance our knowledge of hominin knapping strategies. Furthermore, the scarcity of tools across all clusters, except one, along with the absence of selective blanks, suggests that tool modification occurred at specific areas different from primary knapping spots, highlighting the spatial organization of lithic production and use.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8214,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences","volume":"17 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145169581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
