Human Lifestyle and Adaptation in Prehistoric China
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
In recent years, human lifestyle and adaptation in prehistory, and the potential role of environmental changes in those processes, have been intensively studied in China. This session aims to present new findings, ideas, and theories in how and why human adaptation shifted in prehistoric China. This panel will clarify the relations between human adaptation and environmental changes across China and provide suggestions on what research is needed in the future. Researches from bioarchaeology, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, palaeoenviroment, and other related perspectives are warmly welcomed.
