Abstract
Summary of the research findings
The study investigates early Neolithic social organization in northern China by reconstructing family pedigrees from ancient DNA recovered from two sites (Sitai and Xinglong). It aims to clarify how kinship systems were structured in early East Asian societies and whether there is a consistent shift between matrilineal and patrilineal patterns. Archaeogenetic evidence from the Neolithic Sitai culture is combined with burial and co-burial context to characterize household/community organization.
