Pishan Site is an archaeological site around Pishan hill in Baliadian Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou, Zhejiang, about 2.5 km east of the city center and 7 km northwest of the Qianshanyang site. It lies in the Tiaoxi River basin. It was found in winter 1957 during dredging of the Sanliqiao River, when Zhang Baoming, deputy director of the Huzhou culture and education bureau, saw grey pottery dou and three-legged pans in a soil mound section near Jinjia village on the west bank.
This site began in the late Neolithic period and was repeatedly occupied over many thousands of years. The different settlement layers tell the story of long periods of human presence and development at this location.
The pottery and tools discovered here show how people built homes and lived together in this place. The findings suggest that residents had skilled crafts and organized themselves to work and live as a community.
