Jiahu, Archaeological site in Henan, China.
The Jiahu archaeological site spans 55,000 square meters and contains numerous residential structures, kilns, storage pits, and burial grounds from the Neolithic period.
Excavations at Jiahu, which began in 1979, revealed a settlement dating from 7000 BCE containing evidence of early rice cultivation and animal domestication.
The site yielded decorated pottery vessels, stone tools, and bone flutes with seven finger holes, indicating advanced musical knowledge during the Neolithic period.
Researchers identified 349 tombs, 45 house foundations, and 370 storage pits across the site, providing substantial material for studying Neolithic life patterns.
Chemical analysis of pottery fragments from Jiahu revealed residues of fermented beverages, making it the location of the earliest known alcoholic drink production.
