Bai Village Site

Bai Village Site (Second Batch of Provincial-Level Protected Sites)

Era: Neolithic Age

Location: Approximately 1 km west of Bai Village, Shoulu Township, Dingxiang County

The site is located on a terrace on the eastern bank of the Hutuo River. It extends 1,500 meters from east to west and 500 meters from north to south, with a cultural layer 1–2 meters thick. Pottery artifacts found on the surface include jars, basins, ?, three-legged urns, and slender jars. The pottery materials consist mainly of sand-tempered and clay pottery, predominantly gray pottery, followed by red pottery. Decorative patterns include cord marks and basket-weave patterns. Stone artifacts are abundant among the relics, such as stone balls, axes, chisels, and triangular pointed tools, with stone balls being the most common. Most of the stone tools have polished edges but exhibit relatively rough secondary processing. The site is currently well-preserved and has not been excavated.

In 1986, it was designated as a provincial-level key cultural heritage protection unit by the People's Government of Shanxi Province.
