White Tomb Mound Site

White Tomb Mound Site

The White Tomb Mound Site is a Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The White Tomb Mound Site is located in Yonghong Village, Fengqiao Town, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City. Surrounded by rivers on three sides, it spans an area of approximately 60,000 square meters, distributed within a range of 300 meters from east to west and 200 meters from north to south. Its main core mound is rectangular, standing over 10 meters high and covering an area of 20,000 square meters. The surrounding original environment is well preserved, making it a typical settlement site from the Neolithic period of the Songze and Liangzhu cultures in the Taihu Lake Basin.

A large number of impressed pottery shards, including mat-patterned, cord-marked, zigzag, fine-checkered, "rice character," and scroll patterns, were unearthed in the western part of the site, dating back to the Shang-Zhou period through the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The main mound remains well-preserved, with unearthed artifacts such as tripod leg fragments and red clay pottery basins, belonging to the Songze to Liangzhu cultural periods.

In March 2005, it was designated as part of the Fifth Batch of Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Units.
