Some of these sites are classified as belonging to the Cishan culture, after the type site in Wu’an, Hebei Province, and others to the Peiligang culture, after their type site in Xinzheng, Henan Province; both are datable between about 5500 and 5000 B.C.But a few are comb-marked, and at certain Cishan sites, some cord-marked or painted ones have been found. The common vessels are bowls, round-bottomed or with three short legs; deep, wide-mouthed jars; pots with two tiny lugs; caldrons with three or four legs (ding); and, in settlements of the Cishan culture, straight-walled, flat-bottomed jars (yu) and flat-topped, hollow pot supports. en 1999 w:Laurent Sagart Agriculture: The Cereals The Roots of Old Chinese https://archive.org/details/rootsofoldchines0000saga/ 184 w:John Benjamins Publishing Company 9027236909 99-16629 470705685 176 https://archive.org/details/rootsofoldchines0000saga/page/176/ Domesticated millets — Setaria italica and Panicum miliaceum — appear a little later than rice in the archaeological record, around 6500-5000 BCE in sites of the Peiligang, Cishan and related cultures, in the mid Huang He river valley, the Wei river valley and the upper Han river valley in northern China. en 2004 Sarah M.
