On October 20, 2023, the "Archaeological Science Forum" hosted by the Center for Archaeological Science, Sichuan University was held in the Lecture Hall on the first basement floor of Block II, Liberal Arts Building, Jiang'an Campus, Sichuan University. Professor Lv Hongliang from the School of History and Culture, Sichuan University, presided over the forum. He Keyang pointed out that climate, agriculture, and population represent the three core elements in the study of prehistoric human-land relationships and are the research contents of key concern in environmental archaeology. One of the biggest challenges in exploring the relationship between past climatic events and human societies is how to quantitatively reconstruct high-resolution spatiotemporal records of climate, agriculture, and population. This research aims to establish prehistoric archaeobotanical and archaeological carbon data...
