Tianluoshan Site

The Tianluoshan archaeological excavation contains numerous wooden structures, pottery items, and tools from an ancient agricultural settlement in Zhejiang Province.

The site dates back approximately 7000 years to the Hemudu Culture period, revealing four distinct construction phases of pile-dwelling architecture in Chinese prehistory.

Excavations at Tianluoshan uncovered specific areas that separated daily living quarters from ritual buildings, demonstrating early community organization methods.

Located 7 kilometers north of the Hemudu site in Yuyao, the excavation provides researchers with continuous access to study early Chinese settlement patterns.

The discovery of camellia plant remains at Tianluoshan indicates that Chinese tea cultivation practices may extend back more than 6000 years.
