Abstract
This document is an expansion of a dissertation on the settlement patterns of the Longshan phase and fieldwork at the site of Kangjia, Lintong, Shaanxi. An exploration of potential contributing factors in the rise of the earliest Chinese states (Erlitou and Yueshi) considers changes throughout the Neolithic (especially during Longshan) in environment, economy, ritual, households, settlement pattern and settlement hierarchy, mortuary patterns, socio-political organization, social hierarchy, and warfare.
