摘      要：Through the analysis of macro-and micro-plant remains,food residues and the rice-field like features from the mid-Neolithic site of Hanjing in the Huai River region,we propose an early beginning of rice cultivation at *** presence of non-shattering rice spikelet bases and the increasing percentages of rice phytoliths confirm the appearance of domesticated rice in the Hanjing archaeobotanical ***,as indicated by the different prediction rates of rice domestication shown by morphometric of the double-peaked Oryza-type glum cells and fish-scale decorations on the Oryza-type bulliform cells from different cultural phases before 7,000 a BP,rice cultivation was at an early stage of *** findings provide new and significant evidence towards the establishment of the Huai River as another important center for early rice cultivation and domestication in prehistoric China.
