“…Following the 5.3-ka BP climate event was the early Longshan Period (4800-4300 BP) with a warm climate [30,[40][41][42]. Based on the archaeobotanical results from the Guojiazaoyuan site, we argue that, despite inhabiting a favorable climate, the lingering impact of severe climatic events compelled people to develop a new subsistence strategy.…”

Abrupt climate events profoundly impact human societies, both environmentally and socially. However, existing research predominantly concentrates on immediate responses, overlooking long-term consequences. This study, centered on the Guojiazaoyuan site in the southern Loess Plateau, explores the enduring effects of a 5.3-ka BP climate event that transformed the local subsistence system. Through detailed analysis of archaeobotanical evidence, specifically floral remains dating to 4800–4300 BP obtained via flotation, significant post-event shifts in agricultural practices and food strategies are revealed. Notably, there is a clear prioritization of foxtail millet cultivation, a shift towards diversified food sources, and the introduction of new livestock. These changes represent strategic adaptations aimed at bolstering resilience and reducing vulnerability to future climatic challenges. The southern Loess Plateau developed an agricultural pattern with foxtail millet as the dominant crop, although different patterns were observed in surrounding regions during the early Longshan period (4800–4300 BP). Emphasizing the importance of a long-term perspective, particularly in agriculture and food security, the findings contribute to a broader understanding of how ancient societies coped with environmental changes. These insights are pertinent to ongoing discussions on climate resilience and sustainable agriculture.

“…At the end of the Longshan Culture, the paleo-vegetation and paleo-climate of the upper Shu River had undergone obvious changes, and the cool and dry forest and grassland vegetation appeared [40]. Other scholars also believe that the collapse of Longshan culture is largely related to the abrupt change of climate, and the ancestors of YueShi culture also lived in a relatively dry and cold climate [41,42].…”

The ZQSC loess-paleosol profile was selected to investigate the environmental evolution and its correlation with the development of the Neolithic culture since Holocene in central Shandong Province of China. In the study, grain size, chromaticity, and magnetic parameters were considered as reliable proxies in reconstructing paleoclimate. Besides, the sedimentary age was obtained by 14 C dating in Beta laboratory in 2017. The result indicated that the Holocene climate evolution can be divided into three stages: 1) The early Holocene (about 11.5-8.5 ka B.P.). In this period, the climate conditions of the late Last Glaciation were extended, characterized by a dry and cold climate. 2) The middle Holocene (about 8.5-3 ka B.P.). This stage is climatically suitable with the best condition of warmth and humidity. Besides, small fluctuations also existed, in the period of the 4.62-3.784 ka B.P., the climate event was occurred. Besides, numerous pottery shards were discovered in paleosol, corresponding to the occurrence of the transition from the prosperous Longshan culture to the sluggish YueShi culture, potentially related to the sudden temperature drop and the ancient flood event.3) The late Holocene (about 3.0 ka B.P.-present). The climate condition of this stage was deteriorating steadily. In this period, the 2.948 ka B.P. climate event and buried pottery revealed a great correspondence with the dry and cold events of the Middle Western Zhou Dynasty.

“…The social economy was dominated by agriculture, and a handicrafts industry emerged and developed. A substantial portion of the population participated in livestock and poultry production (He, 2004;Wu et al, 2013). The Yueshi culture (4000-3500 a BP) displayed socioeconomic characteristics similar to those of the Longshan culture, although the importance of fishing, hunting, and animal breeding increased (Zhang and Lu, 2004).…”

The Spatio-temporal distribution of prehistoric sites and the response of human activities to climate change are important considerations in studies of human-Earth relationships. The Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong Province is an ideal place to study the relationship between Holocene environmental evolution and human adaptability. In this study, GIS software was used to study the elevation, slope, and riverside adjacency of Holocene settlement sites in the Jiaodong Peninsula. By analyzing trends in the spatiotemporal distribution of settlements in combination with climate and sea-level changes in the Jiaodong Peninsula we were able to explore the relationship between the spatiotemporal distribution and environmental evolution of the sites. The results showed that the prehistoric sites were mainly located in low-altitude areas with elevations of 0-60 m and sun-facing (i.e. south-, southeast-, and southwest-facing) slopes of 0°-5°. The number of Houli-Beixin sites (8500-6300 a BP) were relatively fewer than the number in other areas in China due to the impact of the early Holocene transgression. Continental sites in the Jiaodong Peninsula were substantially affected by climate change and began to increase during the Dawenkou stage (6300-4600 a BP) and reached a maximum during the Longshan stage (4600-4000 a BP). With the advent of the dry and cold 4.2 ka event, the number of continental sites decreased during the Yueshi stage (4000-3500 a BP). The number of coastal sites fluctuated slightly from the Longshan to the Yueshi stage (4000-3500 a BP) because of climate change. Compared with other areas in China, the reduction rate of sites from the Longshan (4000-3500 a BP) to the Yueshi culture (4000-3500 a BP) was relatively low, likely because fishing was the main livelihood. These results could help improve our understanding of the relationship between climate change and human activities.
