Rice growing spread north in Neolithic age
这是出土水稻遗存的陕西省渭南市东阳遗址（无人机拍摄）。史前水稻的栽培和驯化，对中华文明的诞生与人口增长具有至关重要的作用。目前学界对于“水稻栽培起源于长江中下游地区”的结论已基本达成共识，但对于稻作农业向外传播的时间与过程还存在疑问与分歧。日前经过科学手段分析，考古工作者发现出土于陕西省渭南市东阳遗址的水稻遗存，属于距今5800多年的人工栽培品种，为研究水稻种植的起源和传播提供了新的证据。

Chinese paleontologists believe rice cultivation arrived in northern China from the south during the Neolithic age. Researchers with the Chinese Academy of Sciences institute of vertebrate paleontology and paleoanthropology base their view on study of items found in the Dongyang site. Phytolith analysis of residue found at the Dongyang site shows rice was grown there 5,800 years ago. (Xinhua)
