Usually defined as a productive double-cropping rice area, the Lingnan is rich as well as hilly and rugged. It is believed that this kind of mountainous topography has physically created small local communities (Nuttonson 1963: 18). Since the Pearl River Delta/estuary area is one of the most fertile, intensively cultivated and densely populated farming areas of China (Skinner 1964: 207–208; Nuttonson 1963: 20), the places where archaeological sites have been found are accordingly resource-rich areas in historical and modern times.

3 km (Chisholm 1968: 46). A Site Catchment Analysis of Hong Kong’s Neolithic Subsistence 21 Other cases also indicate that site catchment radius or size can vary a great deal, due to variations in environments and other factors (Zarky 1976: 119). For example, Woodburn (1968) has proposed a 1-h rather than the more accepted 2-h walk distance for Hadza foragers. Akazawa (1980) also believes that the 10-km radius was too large for the hunter-gatherers at the Nittano site in Japan. In summary, the 10-km/5-km radii are largely the maximum limits of radius distance for the forager/farmer catchments in theory only.

G. Roper 1979). Nonetheless, the mechanical use of Lee and Chisholm’s figures has been criticized (Roper 1979: 124). In fact, the 10-km/5-km catchment radii are seldom reached in real situations, and in most cases they stand for the longer and maximum limits of distance that foragers/farmers normally would not reach to find food. Kung Bushmen would walk from their camps to procure food resources. Generally, they would not go as far as the limit if foods were abundant closer to their camps. ’ As Lee (1969: 60) further describes, the Bushmen would typically stay at a camp for a few weeks or months to consume the food found in its vicinity.
