Jiangzhai site, Neolithic archaeological site in Xi'an, China

The Jiangzhai site covers 16,580 square meters on the east bank of Lin River, containing remains from five phases of the Yangshao culture period.

Excavations between 1972 and 1979 revealed a 6,700-year-old settlement with 600 tombs and 10,000 artifacts from the Neolithic period in the Yellow River basin.

The discovery of early copper fragments at Jiangzhai, dating from 4700 to 4000 BC, represents the first evidence of metalworking in Chinese prehistory.

The archaeological site requires protection measures as current preservation conditions show only a concrete marker amid surrounding construction activities.

Archaeologists uncovered the oldest arsenical copper artifacts in China at this location, though their creation appears to have been unintentional.
