Abstract:The early presence of crops from East Asia and Southwest Asia in the Inner Asian Mountain Corridor (IAMC) has drawn attention to the Bronze Age mountain archaeology of Central Asia. Namely, the Bronze Age diffusion and utilization of grains in this region remains unknown as contrasts and extremes characterize the territory in environmental terms, especially elevation. This study reveal well the differentiated utilization strategy of cereals (including millet, wheat/barey) by Bronze Age population in IAMC, and also discuss the possible reasons.
