TAILIEUCHUNG - The spread of cultivated rice into southwestchina
This paper argued that the origin of cultivated rice and millet in the Baodun culture is caused by southward expansion of the late Neolithic culture in the Wei and Min Rivers through a crescent-shaped fashion along the border region from Northeast to Southwest China. Rice and millet agriculture development in Chengdu Plain then spread quickly to northwestern Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, eventually the Indo-China Peninsula. | Journal of Anthropology and Archaeology December 2015, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 65-77 ISSN 2334-2420 (Print) 2334-2439 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s).

Based on the climatic condition, archaeological cultures elements such as bottompointed bottle and archaeobotany data, this paper argued that the origin of cultivated rice and millet in the Baodun culture is caused by southward expansion of the late Neolithic culture in the Wei and Min Rivers through a crescent-shaped fashion along the border region from Northeast to Southwest China. Rice and millet agriculture development in Chengdu Plain then spread quickly to northwestern Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, eventually the Indo-China Peninsula.

New archaeobotany data from the Baodu culture in Chengdu Plain (Jiang et al. 2011; Guedes et al. 2013) provided very important evidence to discuss the spread of cultivated rice into Southwest China (Guedes et al. 2013). 1 Department of the History of Science and Scientific Archaeology, University of Science and Technology of China, 96 Jinzhai Road, BaoheDistrict, Hefei Province, ; 2 Department of the History of Science and Scientific Archaeology, .
