Wrong dates[edit]

Someone who doesn't know their BP from their BCE changes the dates. I posted the edits below at Talk:Neolithic

"The earliest Neolithic cultures of Northeast China: Recent discoveries and new perspectives on the beginning of agriculture" G Shelach - Journal of World Prehistory, 2000 - Springer: "In north China, the earliest ceramics found so far are from the Nanzhuangtou site of Hebei province. The oldest radiocarbon date for this site is 10,815 B.P. § 140 years (uncalibrated and with a half-life of 5730 years)".pdf file

The Chinese Neolithic By Li Liu "The initial Neolithic period (ca. 9000-7000 11 in China is characterized by a gradual climatic transition and wet conditions. It is primarily caused by the strengthened East Asian Monsoon as the northernmost frontal zone of monsoon rainfall present arid and semi-arid regions around 11,000-1 ( 758; Morrill ct al. 2003). The pollen data from 12,00C many places of central China the steppe grasses may by broad-leaved forests, although xerophytic herbs we: During this period, the Central Plains witnessed the in villages. This is indicated by the earliest pottery, grinc domesticated pigs and dogs, and domestic features (discovered at Nanzhuangtou in Xushui (ca. 10,500-9,700 BP)[1]

More can be found, but they seem to all agree on the dates, not surprisingly. They were changed with this edit[2]. The source is a newspaper. Dougweller (talk) 11:37, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Checked the latest sources there, [3] which is clearly reliable says 12600-11300 cal BP - we had the usual edito deciding they don't like BP and that BCE is the same. I've added the correct dates and fixed the Antiquity ref, removed the others. Dougweller (talk) 11:47, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didnt have enough time to change the exact date it supposedly began.

Domestication of chickens[edit]

Is it possible that chickens were first domesticated in Nanzhuangtou? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 15:00, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
