SUMMARY:Ground stone tool production: a forsaken craft during early urbaniz
 ation in China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Zhai Shaodong (Associate Professor\, Institute of Archaeolog
 y\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20)\n
 \n	Chair/discussant: Rowan Flad (John E. Hudson Professor of Archaeology\,
  Department of Anthropology\, Harvard University)\n\n	 \n\n	Co-sponsored 
 with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	In China\, ground stone
  tools emerged during the transition period from the Paleolithic to the Ne
 olithic time. However\, they did not take the place of knapped stone tools
  as the main production tools until the Yangshao Culture. This process coi
 ncided with the change from hunting and gathering to agriculture and seden
 tism. Therefore\, ground stone tools greatly supported agricultural develo
 pment and sedentism. If there were ground stone tools\, there was ground s
 tone tool production. Currently\, there are not many clues about ground st
 one tool production during and before the Yangshao Culture in the Central 
 Plains of China\, but there are some related data from Taosi\, Erlitou and
  Yin Ruins. These three sites also represented the early urbanization proc
 ess in China. This talk will compare ground stone tool production at these
  three sites in order to see the status of ground stone tool production du
 ring early urbanization in the Central Plains of China
