Jingtoushan Site, Prehistoric shell mound archaeological site in Yuyao City, China.
The Jingtoushan Site contains extensive shell deposits, ancient artifacts, and evidence of early human settlements dating back 8,300 years in coastal eastern China.
Archaeological excavations in 2019 revealed two pieces of lacquerware from 8,200 years ago, establishing these items as the oldest discovered examples in China.
The site presents a collection of items including pottery, stone tools, wood implements, and bone artifacts that demonstrate early Chinese technological development.
The excavation site employs steel structure enclosures to protect the archaeological materials while researchers conduct their investigations in the coastal environment.
Scientists discovered evidence of ancient rice cultivation alongside marine resource exploitation, indicating a mixed subsistence strategy among early inhabitants.
