Dawenkou culture occupies a very important role in the development ofseries archaeology in Haidai region，to undertake Houli culture and Beixin culture, topick up Longshan culture and Yueshi culture.Since from the1950s, Dawenkou site found, scholars began to revolve theDawenkou culture’s stages and types, origin and development, the social nature, andmany other question has carried on the extensive and in-depth discussion, so far, hasbeen a more comprehensive understanding to Dawenkou culture.In this paper, we use pottery typology to installment, stages;division intotypes;relationships with contemporary neighboring cultures;origin and development,and on the basis of predecessors’ research added some new information, the resultsof modification, and for some of the existing stage, on the basis of further explorethe interaction of Dawenkou culture and relationships with contemporaryneighboring cultures, thus for late neolithic age in the middle and lower reaches ofthe Yellow River and the Yangtze river regionhavea preliminary understanding ofarchaeological culture communication.Chapter one:An overview of the Dawenkou culture’s discovery and research.Chapter two:According to the different areas of the distribution of Dawenkouculture, divided into the central and southern Shandong, north of Jiangsu province,Shandong province in north-central, In northwest shandong, Jiaodong peninsula,Southeast of shandong province and the border region of Shandong, henan,anhui,seven regions such as southeast, respectively discusses the stages ofDawenkou cultural sites in different areas, for Dawenkou culture typicallyimplements such as vase with cup, kettle pot, pot pot, pot, discusses the evolutionregularity of tao Gui etc. According to the carbon14dating data, the approximatescope of Dawenkou culture.On the basis of the above stages, different stages ofDawenkou culture type division.Chapter three:Mainly discuss relationships with contemporary neighboringcultures, Hougang Ⅰ culture, Yangshao culture, the Liaodong peninsula in thearchaeology culture, Hongshan culture in western of Liaoning province, Xiaoheyanculture, Songze culture and Liangzhu culture of Taihu lake watershed, peaceful town area of Beiyinyangyin culture in eastern culture, Xuejiagang culture, Longqiuzhuangculture and the Yangtze river downstream of the Qujialing culture, and many otherarchaeology cultures and Dawenkou culture was studied, and the interaction betweenthe Dawenkou culture in different stages of development, in the status of thisinteraction is different, as in the early stages of Dawenkou culture is absorbed, thetransformation mainly foreign archaeological culture factors, and in the middle-latestage, the culture of dawenkou culture output began to increase. Dawenkou cultureand Songze culture and Liangzhu culture exchange of Taihu lake watershed is mostfrequently, the cultural exchange of exchange both gentle, has the intense culturalcollision. Dawenkou culture and eastern Yangshao culture communication, moreperformance for early Yangshao culture infiltration of Dawenkou culture, the moreobvious is Dawenkou culture found in multiple sites of painted pottery decorativedesign in Yangshao culture, and by the late Dawenkou culture to the west, have beenfound in the eastern area several typical tombs of Dawenkou culture, illustrates theDawenkou culture residents have begun to migrate to the area. Dawenkou cultureand Liaodong, western Liaoning region archaeological culture communication ismainly through occur by Jiaodong peninsula, Liaodong peninsula, jade is one of theimportant items for cultural exchanges.Chapter four:The main analysis of Dawenkou culture origin and development.Dawenkou culture derived from Beixin culture, basic recognised by the academia,but in the process of Dawenkou culture produced from the southern and northernHenan, Hebei province region of the north,Hougang Ⅰ culture and Longqiuzhuangculture strongly affected.
