Xiaojiazhuang Site

The Xiaojiazhuang Site is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Shandong Province.

The Xiaojiazhuang Site is located northwest of Xiaojiazhuang Village in Tanfang Town, Qingzhou City, standing about 3 meters above the ground. To the west lies the Mi River, where the cliff reaches nearly 10 meters in height and extends approximately 500 meters in both length and width.

Discovered and test-excavated through trenching in the autumn of 1965, the site has been subject to multiple follow-up surveys. Collected artifacts include pottery drinking vessels, stone shovels, stone knives, stone chisels, and stone adzes from the Longshan Culture period, as well as bronze axes, bone shovels, and pottery gui vessels from the Shang Dynasty, along with some relics from the Western Zhou to the Han Dynasty.

In April 1978, the Yidu County Museum completed the "Four Haves" (defined protection area, protection signage, management entity, and scientific documentation archives) for the site. In 2013, the Xiaojiazhuang Site was designated as part of the fourth batch of provincial-level cultural heritage sites in Shandong Province by the People's Government of Shandong Province.
