McGovern expressly limits the Jiahu residue analysis to pottery from residences; a shamanistic funeral feast associated with pictured burials is an unproven interpretation.

Printed p. 42 and physical PDF59 independently checked in owner-supplied first paperback printing, plus physical PDF59 of earlier ebook. Citation supports McGovern's account of his sample selection, not independent validation of the original laboratory data.
Evidence boundary
McGovern says the Jiahu pottery he selected for testing came from residences, so the tomb-associated shamanistic feast remains a hypothesis. Use this citation only for his account and interpretation; consult the excavation and laboratory publication before asserting the ancient practice independently.
Linked evidence
Jiahu residue tests sampled residential pottery, not tomb vessels
