Banpo Museum, Archaeological museum in Xi'an, China.
The Banpo Museum contains over 18,000 artifacts including pottery, tools, and skeletal remains discovered at the Neolithic settlement site of Banpo village.
Dating back to 4500 BC, the Banpo site represents one of the earliest matrilineal clan settlements in the Yellow River basin of ancient China.
The burial arrangements at the site demonstrate strong family connections, with children interred next to their mothers, indicating the maternal importance in society.
The museum requires approximately two hours to explore and features both indoor exhibition halls and outdoor reconstructed buildings from the Neolithic period.
The Human-Faced Fish Basin discovered at Banpo combines human and fish elements in its design, revealing the artistic capabilities of Neolithic craftspeople.
