Xigao Site

The Xigao Site is a cultural heritage site protected by Guangrao County.

The Xigao Site is located to the north of Xigao Village, Shicun Town, Guangrao County. It was re-examined on May 20, 2009. Observations on-site show that the terrain is slightly higher in the middle and slightly lower around the edges. The surface is scattered with numerous cultural relics, mainly including the rims of gray pottery jars, gray pottery roof tile fragments, and gray pottery bricks. The decorative patterns feature cord marks and fluting. Drilling surveys found that the site has a cultural layer about 0.8 meters thick, containing gray pottery shards, plant ash, and other materials. The site stretches 302 meters from east to west and 234 meters from north to south, covering an area of approximately 60,000 square meters. Based on the analysis of collected cultural relics and drilling results, this site dates back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty period. It serves as an important physical resource for studying the residential history of Guangrao County and holds certain historical value.
