中国南方热带地区稻作驯化的史前史知之甚少。在这里，我们提出了植硅体证据恢复从沉积物芯从中东部海岸的海南岛，中国。研究结果表明，海南岛可能在5600calaBP左右就有驯化水稻生长。海南岛水稻驯化时间较早，支持水稻农业起源于长江中下游及其支流的假说。我们的研究结果也突出了自2000年前以来，南越国岭南地区种植水稻的做法。微化石证据的发现，如植硅体和淀粉粒，应该激发更多的考古研究，重点是国内水稻农业传播到海南岛的起源和后果。
The prehistory of the domestication of rice in the tropical areas of South China is poorly understood. Here we present phytolith evidence recovered from a sediment core from the central-east coast of Hainan Island, China. The result of this study indicates that domesticated rice might grow on the Hainan Island in 5600 cal a BP. The early timing of rice domestication on Hainan Island supports the hypothesis of the spread rice agriculture from its origins in the Middle and Lower Yangtze River and its tributaries. Our results also highlight the practice of growing rice since 2000 years ago in the Lingnan region of the Nanyue Kingdom. The discovery of microfossil evidence such as phytoliths and starch grains should inspire more archaeological research that focuses on the origins and consequences of the spread of domestic rice agriculture to Hainan Island.
