The Donghebei Site is a Neolithic-age site covering a relatively large area with abundant surface relics. The artifacts are relatively concentrated on the southern slope of the hill and near the hilltop. The relics include pottery fragments and stone tools. Both chipped and ground stone tools are found, with the latter being more common. All the pottery fragments are sandy pottery mixed with fine sand grains, handmade, with thin and even walls, and their surfaces have been polished or smoothed. Notably, there are four decorated pottery fragments: the impressed patterns on them, including the "zigzag" pattern, date back as early as around 7,000 years.
