North China Neolithic:
Origins and Intensification of Agriculture in China
The research began as part of the Shang Origins project directed by the late K.C. Chang at Harvard. The collaboration includes Jian Leng of Washington University in St; Louis, Jimmy Zhao of the Institute of Archaeology in Beijing (CASS), Robert Murowchick at Boston University, Li Liu at Latrobe University in Australia, and Anne Underhill of the Field Museum in Chicago. My primary base of operations in China is at Shandong University in Jinan, Shandong Province.
We are examining Early through Late Neolithic and early Shang period plant remains to reconstruct early agricultural systems through time.
