Centers of the diffusion of domesticated rice from southeastern Asia to China - Debate still rages about where rice was first domesticated. On the basis of archeological findings from about thirty years ago, these centers were located in southeastern Asia, specifically Thailand. At the time, historical studies laid emphasis on southeastern Asia, where botanical research drew attention to the bountifulness of food plants. More recent archeological diggings at older sites in China have rekindled this debate. They have led to new hypotheses about the centers from which major Austroasiatic (Austronesian and Thai-Kadai) language families spread. Rice raises questions about the history of the settlement of both China and southeastern Asia. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
