The Dapenkeng culture (大坌坑文化) was a Neolithic culture that appeared in northern Taiwan between 4000 and 3000 BC and quickly spread around the coast of the island, as well as the Penghu islands to the west. Dapenkeng sites are relatively homogeneous, characterized by pottery impressed with cord marks, pecked pebbles, highly polished stone adzes and thin points of greenish slate. The inhabitants cultivated rice and millet, and engaged in hunting, but were also heavily reliant on marine shells and fish. Most scholars believe this culture was brought across the Taiwan Strait by the ancestors of today's Taiwanese aborigines, speaking early Austronesian languages. No ancestral culture on the mainland has been identified, but a number of shared features suggest ongoing contacts. For example, similar cord-marked pottery is also associated with the Hemudu culture of the lower Yangtze area. Scholars suggest "Hemudu was an early settlement of the later peoples of Fujian and Taiwan." Around 2500 BC, the Dapenkeng culture was succeeded by locally differentiated cultures throughout Taiwan. ==References== * * * * * * Zhang Chi, Hung Hsiao-chun.
