闽台史前文化与南岛语族

Prehistoric Cultures in Fujian and Taiwan and Austronesian Peoples

通过对比闽台史前遗址的考古发掘和研究成果,厘清我国东南沿海地区史前文化发展的年代序列,发现闽台地区在新石器时代具有长达数千年的文化相似性。结合近年来对该地区体质人类学、古基因组学等分析和研究成果,推定包括福建在内的我国东南沿海地区是南岛语族的起源地。

From the end of the 19 th century forward,the issue of the origin and dispersion of the Austronesian peoples has aroused the attention of many linguists,archaeologists,anthropologists and human geneticists and produced diverse opinions.By comparing archaeological excavations of and research into prehistoric sites in Fujian and Taiwan and clarifying the chronological sequence of the development of prehistoric cultures in the southeast China coastal areas,this study demonstrates that Fujian and Taiwan shared cultural similarities for thousands of years during the Neolithic Age.Therefore,it can be inferred that the Austronesian peoples originated from southeast China coastal areas,including Fujian.
