Rice, Oryza sativa L., is an important cereal crop. Yet where and when rice was domesticated remains an issue today. According to prior archaeological record and wild rice investigations from China, the middle Yangtze region in China was proposed in this study as a likely place where rice was domesticated. The objective of this study is to report reliably identified botanical data from carefully excavated and well documented archaeological sites to provide further evidence for the process of rice domestication in the middle Yangtze region.

520 $a Rice, Oryza sativa L., is an important cereal crop. Yet where and when rice was domesticated remains an issue today. According to prior archaeological record and wild rice investigations from China, the middle Yangtze region in China was proposed in this study as a likely place where rice was domesticated. The objective of this study is to report reliably identified botanical data from carefully excavated and well documented archaeological sites to provide further evidence for the process of rice domestication in the middle Yangtze region.
520 $a Based on an examination of biological characteristics of rice, the paleoenvironmental record, and related cultural contexts, an hypothesis is developed to explain why and how rice was domesticated in the middle Yangtze region. The hypothesis is then tested through studies of several archaeological sites, and a detailed analysis of plant remains relevant to issues of the timing and nature of rice domestication. The results support the hypothesis in many respects. Wild rice was distributed in the middle Yangtze about 12,000 B.P., and wild rice collection was a component in local subsistence during the Late Paleolithic. The first domesticated rice emerged in the Early Neolithic, possibly around 9000 B.P. This study also provides some information about the transition to rice agriculture: data suggest a possible increase in the use of rice during the early Middle Neolithic (ca. 6500 B.P.).
520 $a Phytolith analysis is employed as the research method in the study. A new method of rice phytolith identification developed at the Paleoethnobotany Lab of the University of Missouri permits the identification of rice at critical time periods and sites. The successful application of this new method contributes positive information to issues of importance of phytolith analysis in archaeology and paleoecology.
