It is situated one li southeast of Liushui Town in the county and was discovered during the 1981 cultural relics survey. Bordered by a hillside to the south and the Han River to the north, the site covers an area of approximately 40,000 square meters and is connected to the natural village of Chenjiaba. The terrain is gently sloping, with the surface used as farmland. The cultural layer is covered by alluvial loess, and farming activities often unearth bronze and pottery artifacts. On the side facing the Han River, erosion from floods has exposed bricks, tiles, or their fragments dating back to the Qin and Han dynasties. The site lies within the inundation area of the Huoshiyan Reservoir. In the first half of 1985, an archaeological team conducted excavations in the reservoir area and unearthed items such as bronze fang vessels, garlic-head ewers, rope-patterned pottery jars, glazed pottery stoves, as well as stone axes and stone knives. This site is the remains of a settlement dating from the Neolithic period to the Qin and Han dynasties.
