Karuo and eastern plateau households
Karuo (卡若)
Plant remains place food choices at the center of settlement history. Millet, later wheat, hunting, gathering, and fishing complicate any single-origin story of plateau farming.
Highland landscapes, communities, and changing institutions
Plateau, valley, and connected regional landscapes
The upper Lancang landscape joined plateau valleys and lower-elevation environments. Food networks changed over time.
Political organization and community scale
Domestic production and cooperation are investigated; neither a unified Karuo polity nor its leadership is demonstrated.
Later transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
Modern plant studies have revised interpretations of grain procurement and cultivation. Present communities are not assigned automatic descent from the settlement.
The 2021 researchers argue that local cultivation was possible, not established for every context.
Changing grains belong to a longer subsistence history.
Crop ecology and archaeological sampling constrain regional explanations.

Dietary diversity can support occupation without one universal farming package.
Wheat at a later stage does not demonstrate wholesale population replacement.
