New radiocarbon evidence on early rice consumption and farming in South China
Open accessAbstract
While the possibility of indigenous rice cultivation cannot be entirely ruled out, there is increasing evidence suggesting that rice farming was introduced to South China during the late-Holocene. However, determination of the exact timing of the spread of rice farming to South China is fraught with the lack of reliable radiocarbon dates. In this article, we present 15 new AMS 14 C dates of charred plant remains recovered from late-Holocene sites of Shixia and Guye in Guangdong Province of South China. Our new AMS 14 C dates suggest a later arrival of rice farming in the Pearl River Delta than previously thought. These new AMS 14 C dates will shed new lights to an improved understanding of the environmental background and ecology of the southward spread of rice farming.

Rice and millet cultivating communities dispersed from the Yangtze valley into southern China by the mid-third millennium BCE, and from there into peninsular Southeast Asia.
“An analysis of the material culture (including pottery decoration) associated with these agriculturalists suggests that rice and millet cultivating communities dispersed from the Yangtze valley (89–92) into southern China, where they arrived by the mid-third millennium BCE (90, 93). From there, they continued into peninsular Southeast Asia, where people following distinct dispersal pathways emph”

The Conclusion dates the introduction of domesticated rice to the Pearl River Delta to 5000–4700 years ago and identifies the Yangtze region as its source. The Introduction links the southward spread of rice agriculture with expansion into mainland Southeast Asia. The paper does not establish that the dispersing communities cultivated millet or trace a specific onward route from southern China into peninsular Southeast Asia. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
