Houjia Site in Binzhou

Houjia (Houjia) Site

The Houjia Site is a cultural heritage site protected at the level of Guangrao County.

The Houjia Site is situated about 50 meters west of Houjia Village, Dawang Town. It is rectangular in shape, approximately 350 meters from east to west and 300 meters from north to south, covering a total area of about 105,000 square meters. Drilling has revealed that the cultural layer is about 2 meters deep, with finds including gray pottery shards, fired earth, and gray soil. Surface artifacts are relatively scarce. Collected samples include pot tripod feet with ghost-face designs, gray pottery li tripod feet, gray pottery dou vessel bases, tile ends, jar rims, fabric-patterned tile shards, disc-shaped ceramic bowl bottoms, ring-footed ceramic bowl bottoms, green-glazed ceramic bowl rims, black-glazed ceramics with gold-thread fragments, and white-glazed ceramic bowl rims. Analysis of these collected samples indicates that this site contains cultural remains from the Neolithic period through the Han Dynasty, and from the Song to the Yuan Dynasty. With such an extensive time span, it provides important evidence for studying the cultural sequence of the region during these periods.
