Fuquanshan site, Archaeological site in Qingpu, China

The Fuquanshan site is an archaeological location in Qingpu with multiple excavation areas revealing different settlement layers. The distinct soil layers show how people inhabited this place over many centuries.

Systematic exploration of the site began in 1962, uncovering artifacts from the Neolithic Liangzhu culture. These discoveries document one of the oldest known civilizations in the Shanghai area.

The jade items and ivory objects discovered here reveal the craftsmanship skills of ancient Shanghai's inhabitants. These artifacts show how organized and skilled these early communities were.

Access to the site is limited and advance contact with administrators is recommended before visiting. The cooler months offer more comfortable conditions for exploring the excavation areas.

The visible soil layers display different colors that act like a visual calendar of past settlements. Visitors can see these colored horizons directly in the ground and understand how long people lived here.
