Environmental Adaptation Driven by Dynamic Water–Soil Coupling: Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age Settlement Patterns on the Chengdu Plain (4500–1200 cal BP)

Environmental Adaptation Driven by Dynamic Water–Soil Coupling: Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age Settlement Patterns on the Chengdu Plain (4500–1200 cal BP)

Background:Understanding dynamic settlement adaptations under extreme hydrological stress is a central theme in landscape ecology. The Neolithic–Bronze Age settlement cluster of the Chengdu Plain (4500–1200 BP) offers an ideal case for decoding human settlement strategies in a monsoonal flood-...
