英文摘要	The Majiayao culture (5300-4000 cal BP) is the most important culture of the Neolithic period in Gansu and Qinghai Provinces, northwest China, but its development and external connections remain unclear. This paper examines changing spatial and temporal patterns of the Majiayao culture and its subsistence strategies in relation to climate change. The research employed GIS analysis of data from the national archaeological survey, review excavation reports of Majiayao sites, and high-resolution paleoclimate records in northwest China. The results indicate that during the three phases of the Majiayao period (Majiayao, Banshan and Machang) site distribution, site density, and subsistence strategies exhibited significant shifts. This variability seems mostly due to changing precipitation that affected agricultural production and hunting resources. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA. All rights reserved.
