Abstract

Abstract: Astana Cemetery is located in Turpan Basin, Xinjiang. Due to the local extremely arid climate, large numbers of plant remains and documents were well preserved in Astana Cemetery, providing valuable materials for exploring the agricultural production and plant utilization of Turpan people during the Jin to Tang dynasties. Archaeobotanical method was applied on the Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) remains unearthed from the Astana Cemetery. Combined with relevant documents, the cultivation and utilization of Chinese jujube during the Jin to Tang dynasties were discussed. It showed that Chinese jujube was a common and important characteristic cash crop in ancient Turpan. The indigenous people used Chinese jujube in various ways, including eaten in fresh and further processing it into dried jujube, jujube cake or dry powder of jujube. In addition, the medicinal value of Chinese jujube and the excellent characteristics of jujube wood were also recognized and utilized by ancient Turpan people.

Key words: Turpan, Jin to Tang dynasties, Chinese jujube, archaeobotany, plant remains, ancient Turpan documents
