Neolithic development in eastern Dongbei region, China

Summary

Dongbei region, an inclusive name for three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning in Northeast China developed Neolithic succession, distinguished from the better known Huanghe culture (Yellow River) from the Early Holocene. Compared to Liaoning region, which is better known outside China, Jilin, a border province with North Korea has been left mostly unknown in international archaeological communities despite of its critical geo-political importance throughout prehistory and history. Jilin is a home of multi-cultural interactions, flowing different cultural customs, goods and idea throughout prehistory and history. This paper presents the succession of the early Neolithic occupations from 10,000 – 8,000 BP to the later Neolithic period, locally known as the Hamin culture (6,000 – 5,000 BP), based on ecological and archaeological studies in two sites, Houtaomuga and Shuangta. Our research focuses on changes in diachronic changes settlement and subsistence changes as well as any differences in two settlements.
