Archéologie du Xinjiang des origines aux Han. IIème partie.
Open accessAbstract
Many of the protohistoric remains in Xinjiang have recently been attributed to the Iron Age, despite the scarcity of iron artefacts from that region. These remains are assigned to several cultural assemblages dated between 990 B.C. and the beginning of the Christian era. In some cases they have been linked to ethnic groups such as the Jushi, the Saka or the Wusun mentioned in the texts. The gradual decline of the tradition of hand-made ceramics were accompanied by the appearance of wheeled turned pottery. Parallels are found in Central Asia (Kazakhstan in particular) during the period when the mounted horse may have first appeared. Among several problems the question of the origins of metallurgy is discussed. New systems were introduced while contacts with Han China were intensified.

“During the Bronze and Iron Ages we find vestiges of agricultural production in several areas. Millet seems to have been the main staple in Xintala, Gumugou, and Sidaogou.”

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.
