Guillaume, ty znaesh russkiy yazyk s detstva? Ili zhil nekotoroe vremya v
Rossii?
These are the sources I mentioned, they are not archaeological, rather
ethnographical ones (I'm not an archaeologits neither, my scientific speciality
is physiology):
1. R.F.Its "Arhaicheskie formy socialno-proizvodstvennyh ob'edineniy taiwanskih
gortsev" In: "Ohotniki, sobirateli, rybolovy" Leningrad, 1972
2. M.V.Kryukov "Gaoshan" In: "Narody i religii mira" Moscow, 1999
3. Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1999
Besides that I have 2 archaeological issues which are partly relevant:
1. The Times Atlas of Archaeology, London, 1995 (The map shows that Taiwan Early
Neolithic sites like Feng-pi-t'ou, Nan-t'ou and Ta-p'en-keng are situated
obviously in the zone of rice-based communities spreading from South China to
Hemudu culture in the Yangtze mouth, but this is not mentioned in the text.
First settlements of the Chinese mixed millet-rice culture appeared in Taiwan
some later - in the early Longshan period 3200-2500 BC (again data from another
map). Probably millet came then - rather early but not first?)
2. L.S. Vasil'ev "Drevniy Kitay" Moscow, 1995 (He doesn't write especially about
Taiwan, but detailed description of the millet-based Banpo culture shows that
there were no movement in SE direction in that time)
Grateful for the piece of data you've already reported and looking forward to a
new one,
Alexander
