The Dongjiacheng Ruins

　　The Dongjiacheng Ruins are situated in Dongjiacheng Village, Songhe Town, Jingshan County. The site lies on the northern bank of the Daoliu River and is surrounded by hilly landforms. It has an oval-shaped layout, approximately 150 meters long from north to south and 105 meters wide from east to west. The remaining walls are about 5 meters high and 3–4 meters wide, with a total perimeter of 650 meters. There are gaps roughly 1.5 meters wide on the southeast and west sides, which are likely remnants of ancient city gates. Outside the walls, traces of a moat can be found, measuring 6–8 meters in width and 0.5–0.65 meters in depth. Among the pottery shards collected within the site, the majority are made of red clay and red sandy clay, with a small number of gray sandy clay pieces. Decorative patterns include rope impressions and string patterns, and identifiable artifacts include li tripods and jars. This site represents the first discovery of a Shang and Zhou period settlement within the territory of Jingmen City.
