This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article " Neolithic signs in China" : To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]), qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights. To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

[edit] Summary

All the following criteria have been met for non free fair use in the Neolithic signs in China page:

1. No free equivalent. (this is the sole source of the symbols images)
2. Respect for commercial opportunities. (the source is a scholarly work, and adoption of a single image, with attribution, is normal fair use in academia)

  2. Minimal extent of use. One small low-res image is used.

1. Previous publication. Non-free content must have been published outside Wikipedia. Affirmative.
2. Content. Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. Yes.
3. Media-specific policy. The material meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. For example, images must meet Wikipedia:Image use policy.
4. One-article minimum. Non-free content is used in at least one article. Used in exactly one article
5. Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Discussing the appearance and nature of the pottery symbols is not possible without an image.
6. Restrictions on location. I don't understand this. It is being linked in only one main article.
7. Image description page. The image or media description page contains the following:

  1. Attribution of the source of the material (yes, see above source and derivation) and, if different from the source, of the copyright holder. See: Wikipedia:Citing sources#When uploading an image.
  2. A copyright tag that indicates which Wikipedia policy provision is claimed to permit the use. For a list of image copyright tags, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free content. (yes, see top)
  3. The name of each article (a link to the articles is recommended as well) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language, and is relevant to each use.
