Sanxingdui, Archaeological site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province, China.
The archaeological site covers 12 square kilometers with a central ancient city spanning 3.6 square kilometers along the Yazi River banks.
Excavations began in 1929 when local farmers discovered jade artifacts in a drainage ditch, leading to extensive archaeological investigations.
The artifacts reveal an advanced Bronze Age civilization with intricate gold masks, bronze statues, and jade objects dating from 2800 BCE to 1100 BCE.
The Sanxingdui Museum displays thousands of excavated items, including bronze trees, gold masks, jade objects, and elephant tusks from eight sacrificial pits.
The site contains bronze sculptures with unusual characteristics, including figures with tall bodies, large eyes, and masks unlike any found in other Chinese archaeological locations.
