TL;DR: The origin of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) perylene in sediments and petroleum has been a matter of continued debate as mentioned in this paper, and structural similarities to perylene quinone-like components present in e.g. fungi, plants, crinoids and insects suggest a product-precursor relationship.

Holocene-aged sedimentary records of environmental changes and early agriculture in the lower Yangtze, China
TL;DR: Sedimentary evidence from a total of 21 AMS 14 C dates and 192 pollen and charcoal and 181 phytolith samples from three study sites in the archaeologically rich lower Yangtze in China provides an indication of interactions between early agriculturalists and generally highly dynamic environmental conditions as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Analyses of sedimentary evidence in the form of spores, pollen, freshwater algae, dinoflagellate cysts, phytoliths and charcoal from AMS 14C-dated, Holocene-aged sequences provide an excellent opportunity to examine the responses of Neolithic agriculturalists in the lower Yangtze to changing environments as discussed by the authors.

Environmental and cultural changes during the terminal Neolithic : Qingpu, Yangtze delta, eastern China
TL;DR: In this paper, a 14C AMS-dated sequence of sediments from an exposed profile at Qingpu, Yangtze delta, was investigated and the age range of the sedimentary sequence analysed is from c. 1800 to 6000 BP, and therefore encompasses the terminal Neolithic and subsequent Bronze Age in the region.

Temporal trends in millet consumption in northern China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the temporal trends in prehistoric millet consumption in two regions of northern China, in the Wei River valley and a northern zone that encompasses north-eastern Shaanxi, western Shanxi and south-central Inner Mongolia.
