| Research Abstract |
Domestication of rice and the following formation process of agricultural society in China are classic archaeological topics but recently lively discussed to produce new insights with newly discovered data. We aimed at shedding light on the discussion by substantial collaborative research of archaeobotany, artifact studies and genetics. As the results, we successfully established new outlooks on wild food exploitation by early rice farmers, production/consumption systems on plant food, and dispersal of domesticated rice. The results were presented at several international conferences and published as English and Japanese articles. Furthermore, we held two international symposiums(one is by collaboration) and provided good opportunities for international information and opinion exchanges among leading scholars of early rice domestication. The symposium achievements are also published in English for further global information flow.
