With the permission from the Chinese National Bureau of Cultural Relics and the Fujian Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, I joined the excavation of the Huangguashan site in May and June 2002. In November and December 2002, I went back to Fujian and excavated the Damaoshan site. As will be illustrated in the following chapters, the information retrieved from these two excavations, which is the basis of this monograph, has contributed on many aspects to the understanding of the Neolithic of southeast China and the dispersal of the Proto-Austronesians.
