Cuijiachang Site

The Cuijiachang Site is a cultural heritage protection unit of Zhejiang Province.

The Cuijiachang Site is located in Group 13 of Jinxing Village, Haichang Subdistrict, Haining. It was discovered in 1996. Belonging to the Liangzhu Culture of the Neolithic Age, it dates back approximately 4,500 years.

The site is a high earthen mound about 2 meters above the surrounding paddy fields, currently planted with mulberry trees. It lies about 50 meters southwest of the natural village of Cuijiachang. Collected artifacts include flat chisel-shaped and conical tripod feet made of coarse red pottery, gray clay pottery fragments such as dou (food vessel) and jar bodies, black-coated pottery gui (food vessel), and broken stone tools.

Drilling surveys during the Third National Cultural Relics Census indicated that the site is approximately 70 meters long from east to west, 65 meters wide from north to south, covering an area of about 4,600 square meters. The surface soil layer is about 1.5 meters thick, and the cultural layer is about 1.4 meters thick. A layer of plant ash soil was found beneath the center of the mound, rich in content. The overall preservation condition of the site is relatively good, showing high historical research value.

In January 2010, it was designated as part of the Sixth Batch of Cultural Heritage Protection Units of Zhejiang Province.
