Prehistoric Agriculture in South Tibet: Archaeobotanical Perpespective from Bangga Site
Author(s): Jixiang Song
Year: 2018
Summary
To understand the evolution of agricultural economy in south Tibet, a large number of flotation samples and phytolith samples were collected during 2015-2017 field seasons at Bangga site. Preliminary analysis on these samples shows clues to the subsistence strategy, the nature of the site （pastoral or agropastoral）and probably the seasonality of the occupation of the site. Comparison with Changguogou site which is earlier in time indicates changes in subsistence strategy over time in this region.
