Neolithic

The Zhaisang Neolithic Age Site is a cultural relic protection unit of Nanzhao County.

The Zhaisang Site is located 300 meters west of Dongdian Village, Chengjiao Township, on Zhaisang.

This site was among the first batch of county-level cultural relic protection units announced by Nanzhao County in March 1980.

The site is situated on a riverside highland on the east bank of the Huangya River, covering a total area of 35,168 square meters. The cultural layer is approximately 1 to 3 meters thick. Based on exposed artifacts, red pottery accounts for 75%, while sandy pottery makes up about 25%. Most items were hand-made, including plate-shaped ding, narrow-mouthed bowls, basins, cockscomb-shaped vessel ears, and hollow gray pottery dou. Painted pottery mostly features red slips with black designs, and stone tools such as stone axes were used. This site is a Neolithic Yangshao Culture settlement.
