中国最早的稻作与稻作农业起源中心

产生最早稻作的地方未必一定能成为稻作起源的中心,中国最早的稻作可能在华南北部诞生,中国稻作农业起源的中心首先是在长江中游,长江下游和淮河上游也可能是另外的两个中心。     

珠江流域稻作农业起源的再思考

农业起源一向被作为中石器时代的重要课题和新石器时代开始的标志而倍受考古学家的关注.在稻作起源的探索中,珠江流域被许多学者认为是中国乃至亚洲栽培稻的起源中心之一.借助于农业起源动力机制的理论探讨,认为稻作起源的＂华南中心说＂并不成立,无论是理论分析还是目前的考古材料,还不足以证明珠江流域是我国稻作农业起源的中心.     

稻作农业起源研究中的植物考古学

早期稻作农业是植物考古学的一个研究热点。本文首先厘清了农业、栽培和驯化等稻作农业发展中的常用术语。进而对区分野生稻与驯化稻,即反映“半驯化”特征的几个指标包括基盘、谷粒尺寸和植硅石分别展开讨论。文章结合我们对现代野生稻和栽培稻的测量数据以及田螺山的工作,引用了国内外诸多考古实例和最新的分子学证据,证据表明上述几个指标在某些程度上多少可以作为性状来判断驯化稻是否已经出现,但是随着农业景观概念的提出,耕地杂草群落作为农田系统研究的证据．为稻作农业出现和发展研究展开了新视野。     

中国稻作起源的动因

本文依据中西方学者对农业起源研究的成果,对中国稻作起源的动因进行了探讨.认为中国的稻作起源于长江中游偏南的武夷山及南岭一线以北的生态脆弱带,始于距今12000年前的旧石器时代向新石器时代过渡期,生态环境的变迁是稻作起源的主要诱因,解决人口增长的压力是稻作起源的直接动因,而人类的生产力及技术水平的进步则是稻作起源的动能.这三者相互作用的结果催生了稻作农业的产生.     

栽培稻与稻作农业起源研究的新资料和新进展

一．稻作农业起源研究的学术意义 人类起源、农业起源和文明起源是现代考古学研究的三大热门课题,也是人类发展史中最为重要的三个阶段。     

江西万年仙人洞遗存再研究及中国稻作农业起源新认识

文章认为中国栽培稻的驯化史可能始于距今１．５万年前后,距今８０００－９０００年左右中国南方淮河南岸古代居民率先发明早期稻作农业。     

长江下游新石器时代水稻田与稻作农业的起源

长江下游地区一系列史前水田遗迹的发现,说明长江下游不仅是稻作农业起源中心,也是栽培稻的起源中心。     

考古遗址出土野生和栽培稻的鉴定问题

关于中国稻作起源的研究至少可以追溯到1930年代（丁颖1933）。1970年代河姆渡遗址的发现更把这一研究推向新的高潮。最近．国内外学术界就稻作在长江流域起源的地点和时间,以及一些重要考古学遗存是否进入“发达的稻作社会”等问题展开了颇为热烈的讨论（i．e．Fuller and Qin2008;Fullereta1．2007;Liueta1．2007）。     

东南亚民族的稻谷起源神话与稻谷崇拜习俗

东南亚地区是世界上重要的稻米产区,东南亚民族保存了非常悠久、丰富的稻谷起源神话和稻作文化习俗。虽然东南亚的许多民族先后接受了印度教、佛教、基督教或伊斯兰教,但是由于他们一直生活在稻作农业的传统经济里,稻作文化仍然是他们精神生活中的重要内容。     

栽培稻与稻作农业的起源——《南方文物》“栽培稻与稻作农业的起源”专栏主持辞

上世纪90年代,以中国考古学为核心,国内外学术界曾掀起过一次探讨稻作农业起源的热潮。在那一段时期,新发现和新资料不断涌现,新方法和新观点层出不穷,丰富了对稻作农业起源过程的认识,同时也促进了中国考古学界对科技考古手段的重视和应用。

The laziness of the short-distance hunter: The origins of agriculture in western Denmark

The Ertebølle Mesolithic culture of western Denmark resisted the advance of agriculture for over 1000 years. Marine resources were predominant in the Mesolithic diet. Oysters were a relatively minor resource but are argued to have played an important role by filling a gap in the resource cycle in late winter and spring. The appearance of agriculture coincides with a decrease in marine salinity, which caused a decline in oyster availability. Other marine resources may also have declined for the same reason.     

The emergence of rice agriculture in Korea: archaeobotanical perspectives

This paper reviews archaeobotanical records on the beginning and spread of rice agriculture in the Korean peninsula. Argument for the earliest evidence of domesticated rice at the Sorori site, 15,000 years ago, is invalid. The evidence for rice cultivation in the Neolithic (Chulmun) is still insufficient although rice remains have been reported from a few late Neolithic sites in central-western Korea which dated to about 3000 BC. The existence of rice agriculture in the Bronze Age (Early and Middle Mumun: c.1300 ∼ 300 BC), on the other hand, is demonstrated by the high percentage and/or frequency of rice remains among crops recovered from various sites, as well as through the numerous findings of paddy fields. Rice appears to have been introduced from the Liaodong region, China, while so called 'southern diffusion route' that the beginning of rice cultivation was first stimulated by influences from Southeast Asia or South China is no more valid. Charred rice remains recovered from the Bronze Age dwellings consist of dehusked clean grains and weedy seeds are very rare among samples containing rice grains, which could be related with the harvesting and processing methods of rice. Measurements of charred rice grains also will be reported in this paper. Agricultural villages disappear from the archaeological records from the third century BC, which corresponds to the beginning of the Early Iron Age (Late Mumun), and reappear from the late first century with the emergence of urban societies.     

中国农业的本土起源及其三大模块

中国农业耕作化起源,是研究中国农业发展史的关键问题,也是中外研究关注的热点。本根据国内学章多方面的研究成果和考古发掘,提出中国农业为本土起源的观点,并认为是由黄河流域的粟作农业、长江流域的稻作农业、西藏高原的青作农业三大板块组成。阐明了华夏先民创造中国农业明的历史进程。     

Desert environment and origins of agriculture in Egypt

Examination of paleoclimatological and archaeological data from the Egyptian Sahara and the Nile Valley strongly suggests that management of animals and supplementary fanning appeared in the southern part of the Western Desert during the early Holocene under subarid conditions. Excessive annual and short‐term variability in rainfall, associated with pronounced temporal and spatial unpredictability of water and food resources, is considered one of the key factors stimulating the initiation of domestication. The onset of marked desertification during the 7th millennium bp motivated an eastward movement into the Nile Valley attested to by an almost simultaneous appearance of ‘Neolithic’ sites from the Delta to the central Sudan.
