Caoxieshan Site

Caoxieshan is an archaeological site in Jiangsu Province containing the remains of ancient settlements from prehistoric times. The location reveals pottery fragments, tools, and house foundations that archaeologists have carefully uncovered layer by layer.

The excavations here reveal traces of the Majiabang culture from China's Neolithic period. This research helps us understand the earliest human occupation and development in the Suzhou region.

The pottery and tools found here show how people lived their daily lives in this region thousands of years ago. You can see evidence of cooking, fishing, and the way they built and organized their homes.

The park features marked pathways and information signs that make it easy to explore the excavation areas on your own. Wear good shoes and be prepared for changing weather, especially if you plan to spend several hours walking around.

The site contains multiple layered deposits that show how long people lived here and how their way of life changed over time. This layering allows researchers to trace human development across thousands of years in one location.
