Dispersal of crop-livestock and geographical-temporal variation of subsistence along the Steppe and Silk Roads across Eurasia in prehistory

Guanghui Dong et al.

Summary: Innovations in agricultural production and the spread of these innovations through the Steppe and Silk Roads had a significant impact on the evolution of human-land relationships in late prehistoric Eurasia. There were variations in subsistence strategies across different regions, with millet cultivation and pig husbandry becoming dominant in the Eastern SSRs, while wheat/barley cultivation and sheep/goat, cattle, and pig raising were prevalent in the Western SSRs. The Trans-Eurasian exchange and the introduction of millet crops also influenced subsistence patterns, particularly in the Central Silk Roads.

The transformation of cropping patterns from Late Neolithic to Early Iron Age (5900-2100 BP) in the Gansu-Qinghai region of northwest China

Lele Ren et al.

Summary: The study investigated the historical development of agriculture in the Datong River valley during the Qijia culture and explored the changes in cropping patterns from the Late Neolithic to the Early Iron Age in the Gansu-Qinghai region. Results showed that millet, barley, and wheat played different roles at different time periods in the region.

A global carbon and nitrogen isotope perspective on modern and ancient human diet

Michael Bird et al.

Summary: Research shows that the breadth of isotopic dietary diversity across modern nonsubsistence populations has decreased by two-thirds due to the rise of industrialized agriculture and global food distribution networks. In contrast, prior to industrial agriculture, humans exhibited a broad diet which has persisted in modern subsistence populations.

Early emergence and development of pastoralism in Gan-Qing region from the perspective of isotopes

Minmin Ma et al.

Summary: By analyzing animal assemblages and isotopic data, this study investigates the subsistence strategies and husbandry practices for sheep, goats, and cattle in the Gan-Qing region between the late Neolithic and Bronze ages. The research uncovers flexible ways of raising pigs and dogs, as well as the dominance of C-3 and mixed C-3/C-4 plant consumption in the diets of sheep, goats, and cattle during the Bronze Age. The study also highlights variations in animal delta N-15 values based on aridity levels.

Environmental Influences on Human Subsistence Strategies in Southwest China During the Bronze Age: A Case Study at the Jiangxifen Site in Yunnan

Minxia Lu et al.

Summary: The study at the Jiangxifen site in Yunnan Province found that humans primarily consumed C-4 foods and C-4 food-fed animal protein sources, with smaller contributions from C-3 food plants and C-3 food-fed animal protein sources. Comparison with other Bronze Age sites in Yunnan Province revealed high spatial variability in diets and subsistence strategies due to the varying living environments in each region.

Climate-driven desertification and its implications for the ancient Silk Road trade

Guanghui Dong et al.

Summary: The ancient Silk Road played a crucial role in cultural exchange and trade, but was interrupted during the early Ming dynasty. Research suggests that climate change, leading to desertification in the Dunhuang area, may have affected trade and political stability along the Silk Road.
