Tujiatai Site

　　   Era: Neolithic Age

　　   The Tujiatai Site, located in Nan County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, is an ancient site from the Neolithic Age. The site lies on an irregular terrace to the east of Dalangcheng Village, Nanzhou Town, Nan County, Yiyang City, about 1–1.5 meters above the surrounding rice fields. Approximately 200 meters north of the site are two earthen mounds, each with a diameter of 30–40 meters and a height of over 4 meters, locally known as "artillery platforms." In 1986, the Yiyang Regional Museum excavated a Warring States period tomb here.

　　   The current area of the site is about 30,000 square meters, with relatively well-preserved cultural layers, though their thickness varies. Generally, the deposits are around 0.5–1.2 meters thick. The cultural remains include two phases: the lower layer of the Zaoshi culture and the late phase of the Pengtoushan culture. To date, over 240 square meters have been excavated, revealing a number of important features such as house foundations, burials, and ash pits, along with a large number of exquisitely made pottery artifacts. These findings have provided valuable data. In May 2013, the site was designated as part of the seventh group of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
