“…The Tianshan Mountains in the central west region separate Xinjiang into the Zungharian and Tarim Basins, consisting mostly of arid semidesert with habitable regions around the rivers providing fertile land for farming (Fig. 1) ( 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 ). In the Bronze Age (BA), metallurgical technologies traveled through Xinjiang to East Asia, agriculturally important plants such as wheat and barley [~5000 before the present (B.P.)]…”

“…On the other hand, Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent and is an important component connecting the Eurasian continent. Spatial corridors, such as the Wahan Corridor, the Ili River Valley, the Alashankou and the Hexi Corridor, provided good conditions for early human migration and cultural exchange in Xinjiang 31 ; thus, the early human culture in Xinjiang was diverse, as evidenced by the presence of settlement technologies originating in Moscow and Russian Siberia 41 , 83 and the Linya and Yanbulake cultures with cultural characteristics similar to those found on the Central Plains of China 47 , 48 , 84 , 85 . Hence, the diversified cultural types and environmental evolution rendered the early human settlement preferences in Xinjiang quite different.…”

“…In the vast areas of the southern and northern Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, there are many fine stone and Neolithic remains from the Middle Stone Age. Researchers have unearthed fine stone, stone flakes and stone core stones, grinding plates, grinding rods, stone balls, grinding jade axes, jade adzes, and a small amount of coloured pottery and ceramic fragments with embossed and painted patterns 41 45 . From approximately 4500 a BP to 2250 a BP (Before Present), the oases in Xinjiang entered the Bronze Age and then the Early Iron Age 31 , 46 – 49 , and a large number of settlement sites from this period remain.…”

“…The west bank of Lake Lop Nur, which was formerly the delta of the Tarim River basin, experienced alternation between oasis and desert environments since the late Pleistocene, accompanied by varying levels of human activity (Li et al, 2018a(Li et al, , 2018b(Li et al, , 2019(Li et al, , 2021a(Li et al, , 2021b. Settlements were periodically established in the area that persisted for several centuries before abandonment (Flad et al, 2010;Xu et al, 2017).…”
