Eight slabs, excavated from Peiligang Site and conserved currently in Xinzheng Museum, were examined in this study, and more than 1000 starch grains were found. In order to identify the ancient starch grains extracted from the slabs, some modern plants are selectively collected in China. Meanwhile, some references of former publications are consulted to also. Then, one-to-one comparison with modern starches from economic plants is performed. According to the characteristics analysis, identifiable starch grains recovered from the slabs can be classified into four types at least. In addition, other three types of starch grains with no obvious characteristics need further identification. The experimental results provided some new ideas and new clues for Chinese agricultural origin research.
