This week we talk about two neolithic cultures that existed in the western portion of the Yangtze River system, the Pengtoushan and Daxi cultures.
The Pengtoushan culture ends a few hundred years after the start of this season, but we discuss their last (or next to last) site of Bashidang. As well as their burial practices, architecture, pottery, and tools. We also talk about their use of domesticated crops.
As for the Daxi we discuss their occupation of the Three Gorges region, their own unique pottery, their use of walls and ditches. How they were more reliant on domesticated food sources, their DNA results, and their trade links with groups to the east along the Yangtze Delta.
