Zhukaigou, Bronze Age archaeological site in Ordos Plateau, China.
The Zhukaigou archaeological complex extends across 500,000 square meters in Inner Mongolia, containing remains of settlements, burial grounds, and production facilities.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1977 and 1984 revealed evidence of human occupation dating from 2000 BCE to 1400 BCE in this region.
The site contains numerous artifacts including pottery, stone tools, jade ornaments, and bronze items that demonstrate the transition from hunting to agricultural practices.
Researchers can access the detailed excavation documentation through a 449-page report published by Cultural Relics Publishing House in Beijing.
The discovery of complete dog skeletons in ash pits indicates specific ritual practices that changed from earlier sheep and pig sacrifices.
