The Erjingzi Site is situated on a ridge about 1,000 meters long, 800 meters wide, and 3 meters high. There are three sites on the ridge, spaced 200 meters apart in a triangular formation. The site is divided into western, southern, and northern sections. Artifacts mainly include pottery fragments, li tripod feet, and microliths. The pottery is from an earlier period in the northern section, while those in the western and southern sections are from a later period. The microliths in the northern and southern sections are more refined, whereas those in the western section are coarser. This site is believed to be a Neolithic settlement dating back over 4,000 years.
