Abstract

By analyzing impressions on pottery sherds excavated from Xiying site and Rongshan site in the Pingtan Island of coastal Fujian province with the ‘replica method’, we found grains of rice, foxtail millet, broomcorn millet and other kinds of grass seeds. The earliest rice husk impressions discovered on pottery sherd from Xiying site could date back to 7300BP. The present rice remains of charcoal seeds, phytoliths and pottery impressions from early Neolithic period of archaeological site at Fujian province support the hypothesis that rice was first brought into the Fujian coastal area by sea and was cultivated there during the early Neolithic period at around 7000BP. This may be related to the southward migration of rice farmers from the lower Yangtze River region due to sea-level change.
