Yanshanzhai changed the academic community’s understanding of the origin process of Lingnan civilization
The reporter learned from the final review meeting that Neolithic archaeology will have fruitful results in 2023, so the competition for projects during this period is particularly fierce. Among the 22 final review projects, 8 of the 22 final review projects belong to the Neolithic Age, and 4 were finally selected. Chen Xingcan, an expert representative of the judges, researcher and director of the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, emphasized that the 22 projects entering the final evaluation have important academic value and great scientific significance, regardless of whether they are finally selected or not.
Chen Xingcan took the “Guangdong Yingdeyan Mountain Village Site” in the Neolithic Age as an example and believed that the Yanshan Village Site changed the understanding of the origin of civilization and the social complexity of the Lingnan region. “We lacked the understanding of Lingnan in the past. Now, it entered a complex social stage 4,800 years ago. The origin of civilization is actually synchronized with the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which has greatly changed our understanding of the degree of social development in this region.” He said.
He also introduced in response to reporters’ questions that the 22 projects shortlisted for the final review this year cover a wide range of time and space, from the “Tibet Gejimeilongdapu Cave Site” in the Paleolithic Age 100,000 years ago to “Jilin eighty or ninety years ago.”The Hongshi Huozi Site in Panshi City, Province is unprecedented in time. At the same time, 22 projects range from the southeast coast to the northwest border, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at 47 meters to the underwater shipwreck of 1,500 meters underwater on the northwest slope of the South China Sea. The airspace is wide. The 22 final review projects also reflect the outstanding characteristics of multidisciplinary cooperation, fine excavation, and unprecedented improvement in cultural relics protection awareness. The Lingnan area can be used to Cinema 1950 witch clothes The earliest complex society confirmed by drawThe Yanshanzhai site is located in Lan Village, Qingtang Town, Yingde City, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province. It is located in the middle of the mountainous area of northern Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta, with an area of about 100,000 square meters. From 2019 to 2023, Guangdong Province Komiks 1960 witch clothes drawThe Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, together with Sun Yat-sen University, Peking University and other units, continues to conduct active archaeological excavations of the sites, with an excavation area of 2,900 square meters. It has cleared important relics from the Neolithic Age tombs, ash pits, ash ditches, column holes (groups), stoves and burnt mounds, and unearthed more than 4,300 samples of various cultural relics such as jade, pottery, grinding stone, bronze, human bones and plant remains.
According to the project leader and director of the Pre-Qin Archaeology Institute of Guangdong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the Yanshanzhai site is Cinema 1950 witch clothes The archaeological excavation of draw has achieved many gains. The most important one is the discovery of large cemeteries of the late Neolithic Age at the Rock Back site. The exploration confirmed area is about 5,000 square meters, the area of 1,200 square meters was revealed, 93 tombs were cleaned, and more than 1,200 burial objects such as jade, pottery, and stone tools were unearthed. The cemetery shows a clear zoning and grouping plan, and it is the largest and clearest stone cultural cemetery in the Shixia Cultural Cemetery so far.
The burials in different areas and groups of the Rock Back cemetery have shown significant gaps in the rich and poor and grade differences. Among them, there are as many as 145 burial objects of M16, including 5 jade axes and 74 stone beads, while the same as M26, href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw was buried with jade cong and jade axe. The Yanbei Cemetery clearly reflected the accelerated social differentiation around 4,800 years ago and formed institutionalized burial customs. This is the earliest complex society that can be confirmed in the Lingnan region during the origin of Chinese civilization.
At the same time, the dating data of the Yanbei Cemetery was concentrated between 5,000 and 4,000 years ago, which updated the previous understanding of the upper and lower limits of the Shixia culture. Through the multi-level dissection of typical tombs, the burial process was completely restored, and a clearer understanding of the burial customs of Shixia culture was obtained.
The most important archaeological discovery in Lingnan Neolithic era
Yanshanzhai site, which is being continuously excavated, has been widely recognized by the industryCinema 1950 witch cloth draw and has been announced as a major project result of “Archaeological China” by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2021.
Liu Suoqiang pointed out that the archaeological achievements of the Yanshanzhai site confirmed that Lingnan entered a complex social stage around 4,800 years ago, and showed diversified integration in Lingnan. The role of the draw process also reflects that Lingnan has a regional social complex model different from the Yangtze River Basin.
Not only that, abundant rice remains were found in the tombs, buildings and ash pit ruins of the Yanshanzhai site, indicating that the middle reaches of the Beijiang River where it is located is a crucial intermediate node on the rice farm agricultural transmission route from Lingbei to northern Guangdong to the Pearl River Delta, and it is also an important node for Lingnan to integrate into the process of Chinese civilization integration. Its discovery helps to reinterpret the Shixia culture and the Lingnan region in the archaeological cultural sector types.
The reporter learned that since 2023, the top ten archaeological new archaeological newBabaylan 1990 cloth drawSince the launch of the discovery selection, the participation trends of the Yanshanzhai site have received close attention from the Guangdong archaeological industry. At present, the Yanshanzhai site is still being excavated. With the subsequent development of its archaeological and research work, Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw will be a strong competitor in this important national archaeological award in the future.
The excellent base for archaeology students to move into the fields
Yanshanzhai Site is a cooperative project jointly built by the Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the School of Sociology and Anthropology of Sun Yat-sen University.

The reporter learned that field archaeology internship is a professional compulsory course for undergraduates of Sun Yat-sen University’s Department of Archaeology. It is usually conducted in the first semester of junior high school and lasts for one semester. The Yanshanzhai site covers ancient tombs and living functional areas. Teachers and students from Zhongda mainly carry out practical training in field archaeological excavations in the living functional areas.
Zhou Fanwen said that there is currently a large gap in front-line archaeological talents, so archaeology students are required to master the basic operating procedures for field archaeological excavation before graduation. During the six-month internship, students entered the construction site for field archaeological excavation in the first three months, followed by the unearthed artifacts, and finally formed internship results that were preliminary judgments on the age, nature, and cultural appearance of the excavated area.
In addition, teachers will also encourage students who want to continue their studies and guide them to use first-hand archaeological data to carry out follow-up research. Zhou Fanwen believes that Babaylan 1990 cloth draw. Such training is very helpful for students to carry out higher-level research in the future and is their first ladder toward the academic hall.
Zhou Fanwen also said: “Our students are very lucky to be able to contact the archaeological excavation of the Yanshanzhai site at the introductory stage. This is an archaeological site selected as the major project of “Archaeological China”. On-site participation undoubtedly provides them with the most complete and systematic training. ”
