AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The Beifudi site is important for its early evidence of religious practice, as seen in buried offerings and fired-clay masks. The authors describe the analysis and results of pollen samples collected from a soil profile located a few hundred meters from the site for a better understanding of the local environment and climate, and their effects on human activity.
