中国东南地区被广泛认为是南岛语族的发源地,其考古材料对研究南岛语族起源的年代、航海术和扩散动力有着直接的意义.现有证据表明,早在距今8300年左右,南岛语族的祖先就开始探索中国东南沿海的近海岛屿.到了距今5000年左右,随着远距离航海技能的突破,有相当数量的南岛语族人口移民台湾岛.海洋生存模式和航海术是南岛语族祖先扩散的首要动力.“,”Widely recognized as the ultimate homeland of the Austronesians,Southeast China's archaeological records bear direct implications for understanding the chronology,seafaring and the impetus of the proto-Austronesian expansions.The available evidence demonstrates that as early as 8300 BP,the ancestors of the Austronesians started to explore the offshore islands in Southeast China.By 5000 BP,with the breakthrough of long-distance seafaring skills,a substantial population started to colonize the island of Taiwan.Maritime subsistence pattern and the seafaring served as the primary impetus for the earliest Austronesian dispersals.
