Phytoliths and Archaeology; An Amazing Field That Never Gained Popularity (with good Reason)

Phytolis is a durable flower microfossil formed by silica that plants absorb in their lives. Utility of archeology in archeology has been known for nearly a century, but this field (independently) was not very popular. Evidence from plant stones and yield of information are surprising, but their fields themselves are more annoying than time series tree, leading to lack of development of plant stone and lack of consciousness.

The morphological study of rice plant stone in the Diaotonghuan archaeological ruins clearly shows the transition from wild rice collection to domesticated rice cultivation. The number of wild rice phytolis at the Diaotonghuan level is between 12,000 and 11,000 BP, indicating that the collection of wild rice is part of the local life data. Morphological change of Diaotonghuan phytolis is in the range of 10,000 to 8,000 BP, indicating that rice is being cultivated at the present time. Shortly thereafter, two major varieties of japonica and japonica were planted in central China. In the latter half of the 3rd century BC, rice cultivation rapidly spread to the continent of Southeast Asia, spreading to western India and Nepal.

Likewise, rice seems to be cultivated first in mountainous regions in southern China and northern India, and its wild ancestor Oryza rufipogon is still growing. Zhijun Zhao of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, by hints of careful analysis of fine stone particles of plants as fingerprints of plants, as a fingerprint of the species and preserved in archeological records, hunter gatherers live in the Yangtze River I found evidence that. Rice is eaten in central China about 13000 years ago. But with the emergence of new fairy trees, the rice plant stone disappeared from the archaeological record and reappeared about 11000 years ago when warm and humid conditions recovered - and it depends on the change in those plant stones.

For archaeologists, when you start talking about plant stones and microbes, it can be frustrating to see someone's eyes stunned and see them cheer up only when referring to ancient aliens. Popular interest in sensational archaeological thinking comes from the way historical sensational archeology and archeology teach the masses. Even in the mid-20th century archeology was full of self-exaggerated explorers to explore Atlantis and Moose, and early excavations are often huge, rush, and find the most things I concentrated on that spectacular artifact. As Sleeman asked his wife to imitate Troy's jewels, the general public regarded archeology as not too far from treasure hunt. We all agree that gorgeous pottery, painted sarcophagus, and complex weapons are more attractive than clay and debit.
