Zishan Site, Archaeological site in Yuyao City, China
The Zishan Site is an archaeological location in Yuyao where excavations have uncovered residential areas and implements from ancient times. Multiple layers of deposits reveal how people occupied and used this land across different periods.
The site belongs to the Hemudu culture and reaches back roughly 5,000 years to Neolithic times. Excavations show that people occupied and used this location across many generations.
The pottery fragments reveal how people here shaped clay into vessels for daily tasks and storage. These objects show the craft traditions that connected communities in this region during ancient times.
