摘要	The agro-pastoral ecotone in northern China has long been an essential interaction between the Central Plains and the Eurasian steppe. The Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BCE), with the Central Plains as its political core area, occupied parts of the agro-pastoral ecotone around 3000 BP during its early extensive territorial expansion. However, little is known about the subsistence strategies of the agro-pastoral ecotone subordinated to the Western Zhou. In this study, lipid analysis was performed on potsherds from the Yaoheyuan site in northwest China. The results show that ancient people consumed millet, ruminant meat and dairy products, together with possible equine products. The low proportion of dairy exploitation indicates that ruminant animal management was meat-oriented, which may be related to lactase intolerance and cultural habits. The people at Yaoheyuan lived on an agro-pastoral economy with domesticated herbivores and rare pig consumption, revealing a turning point for the intensified pastoralism in the agro-pastoral ecotone around 3000 BP impacted by nomadic pastoralism in the Eurasian steppe and climate change. In particular, the lipid signals in Yaoheyuan pottery and the previously published data likely reflect that the heterogeneity of Zhou culture between the Central Plains and the agro-pastoral ecotone, and provide important insights into the multiple interactions between the Zhou and indigenous cultures.
