Yuan, Jing, Rowan Flad, Luo Yunbing. 2008. Meat-acquisition patterns in the Neolithic Yangzi river valley, China. Antiquity 82(316): 351-366.Abstract
The authors provide an overview of animal exploitation in the Chinese Neolithic, emphasising regional differences in meat procurement strategies. While the Yellow river peoples turned from hunting wild animals to the rearing of pigs, dogs, sheep and cattle during the Neolithic, the peoples of the Yangzi valley continued to rely on an abundant supply of wild creatures into their Bronze Age. Their staples were deer, fish and birds and there was a special relationship with fish that extended even to the grave.Other Sources
