榛子是一种重要的坚果食品，在整个史前时期被广泛食用。考古学家经常在欧亚大陆的考古遗址发现烧焦的榛属植物的大型化石。我们提出了在中国西北陕西省北牛遗址（109.32°E，34.46°N）发现的烧焦的西伯利亚榛子（Corylus heterophylla）的新记录，其直接日期约为5，400 cal.yr BP。它们是我们用来重建中国北方地区早期榛子使用历史的基本证据。我们在中国的发现远不如在欧洲和北美考古遗址发现的榛子遗骸丰富。我们认为，沉积在北牛遗址文化层中的榛子不是故意用作燃料，而是先破碎，然后作为食物食用，最后在垃圾坑中炭化。这些发现也有助于我们理解中国古代农民在粮食生产中的风险缓解策略。
Hazelnut is an important nut food that was widely consumed throughout prehistory. Archaeologists frequently find the charred plant macrofossils of Corylus at archaeological sites throughout Eurasia. We present new records of charred Siberian hazelnut (Corylus heterophylla) that were recovered from the Beiniu site (109.32°E, 34.46°N) in Shaanxi Province, North West China, that are directly dated around 5,400 cal. yr BP. They are basic evidence that we use to reconstruct the early history of hazelnut use in the northern part of China. Our findings in China are much less abundant than the hazelnut remains recovered at archaeological sites in Europe and North America. We suggest that the hazelnuts deposited in the cultural layer of Beiniu site were not intentionally used as a fuel but rather were first broken and then consumed as food before their eventual charring in a refuse pit. These discoveries also contribute to our understanding of risk mitigation strategies in food production by ancient farmers in China.
