- 10 May 2007
Background Archaeobotany, the study of plant remains from sites of ancient human activity, provides data for studying the initial evolution of domesticated plants. An important background to this is… Expand
The Domestication Process and Domestication Rate in Rice: Spikelet Bases from the Lower Yangtze
The process of rice domestication occurred in the Lower Yangtze region of Zhejiang, China, between 6900 and 6600 years ago. Archaeobotanical evidence from the site of Tianluoshan shows that the… Expand
