Tashan Site, Archaeological site in Xiangshan County, China.

Tashan Site is an archaeological excavation area in Xiangshan County containing multiple layers of settlement evidence from different periods. The remains reveal ancient structures and objects that document human life across many centuries.

The site was discovered in late 1987 when student Li Jiangyi found decorated pottery sherds at a construction site; Hu Chaosheng reported the find, and in January 1988 staff identified Neolithic remains. Excavations in 1990, 1993 and 2007–2008 uncovered burials and structures spanning the Neolithic to the Tang–Song period, with early layers showing Hemudu and Majiabang features.

The site's name comes from Tashan hill in Dandong Subdistrict, where students found decorated pottery sherds in 1987. Burials in the lower Neolithic layer fall into three groups: one facing east-southeast with high-stemmed red pottery dou, typical of Majiabang culture, and one facing east or northeast with cord-marked fu cauldrons of Hemudu type. Some pottery was deliberately broken before burial.

Visits require advance arrangements to protect the ancient remains. Contact local authorities to understand access conditions and what to expect when you arrive.

The site was found in late 1987 when Xiangshan Middle School student Li Jiangyi picked up decorated pottery sherds at a construction site at the foot of the hill; they could be reassembled into a jar. His teacher Hu Chaosheng reported it to the county cultural relics office, whose staff identified Neolithic remains on 28 January 1988.
