Environment and Culture during the Pre-Qin Period in the Chaohu Lake Basin, Anhui Province, East China

Abstract:

The Chaohu Lake Basin is one of the human influenced regions of the Pre-Qin Period in China, and more than 100 archaeological sites of Pre-Qin Period were found in this area. There are good relationships between temporal-spatial distribution of archaeological sites and environmental changes, especially with the changes of lakeshore of Chaohu Lake caused by the regional climatic oscillation. The relatively warm and humid climate of the Pre-Qin Period, the important position of ancient Chinese culture exchanges between the north and south, the developed water network, and rich biological resources, all of these factors had been the important environmental foundation for the originating and development of the Pre-Qin culture in the basin.
