  Raojiaba Site

  Located around Raojiaba Village in Linjiang Township of this county, it was discovered during a cultural relics survey in 1981. The site lies against a hillside to the north and faces the Han River to the south, extending approximately half a li from north to south and about two li from east to west. The riverside section has been eroded by floods, exposing debris such as tiles and pottery shards.

  This site lies within the inundation area of Huoshiyan Reservoir. In early 1985, the archaeological team in the reservoir area conducted excavation work and unearthed pottery items including cord-marked flat-rim li tripods, ding tripods, jars, cauldrons, basins, steamers, and models of stoves, along with a small number of chipped stone tools. Bronze artifacts included fang vessels, cauldrons, arrowheads, swords, and garlic-head-shaped hu pots. A section of wall foundation constructed from bluestone was also discovered, measuring 2 meters in width and approximately 50 meters in intermittent length. The site is a settlement dating from the Shang-Zhou period to the Qin-Han period.
