1961, William Watson, China (Ancient People and Places), Frederick A. Praeger, page 48:From Honan to the east and north-east stretches the domain of a different Neolithic tradition, the Lung Shan culture. In Honan at least it can be shown to be later than that of Yang Shao, for at a number of sties in this densely inhabited part of the Central Plain Lung Shan pottery has been found stratified above Yang Shao remains and below the Bronze Age level. The Yang Shao and the Lung Shan cultures and a more primitive tradition in south-east China comprise the main divisions of Neolithic China.
