Talk about a blast from the past! Archaeologists in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, have unearthed a treasure trove of stone tools at the Keqiutou Neolithic site—artifacts dating back 5,000–6,500 years. These relics aren’t just old rocks; they’re solving a millennia-old puzzle about the Austronesian people’s origins. 🕵️♂️
The tools closely match those found at Taiwan’s Dachakeng ruins, hinting at a shared ancestral homeland. Imagine ancient coastal communities sailing, trading, and passing down knowledge like a prehistoric version of TikTok trends! 📲✨
This discovery isn’t just about cool artifacts. It’s reshaping how we see early marine resource use and the spread of farming cultures from China’s southeast coast to Southeast Asia. Think of it as a Stone Age Google Maps for tracking human migration. 🌊🌾
No wonder Keqiutou made China’s Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries of 2023. Who knew rocks could spill so many secrets? 🤯🔍
