Abstract: Several archaeological sites have been excavated in South China since the late 1990s. The cultural chronology of the western part of this region is much clearer now than it was before. The Five Mountain Range in southern China offers numerous pathways, both riverine and land-based, for human movement between the Yangzi Basin and South China. Recent archaeological discoveries in Guangxi suggest strong cultural similarities between the Yangzi Basin and South China during the Neolithic, indicating that there might have been close cultural exchanges between the two areas.
