Zijin Site

　　  The Zijin Site is located on the second terrace of the southern bank of the Dan River, near Zijin Village, about seven kilometers southeast of Shang County in Shaanxi Province.

　　  This site was discovered in 1953, and its first excavation was carried out between 1977 and 1978 by the Shangxian Library and the Xi'an Banpo Museum, among other institutions. To further understand the accumulation and contents of the cultural layers at the site, the Archaeology Department of the History School at Northwest University conducted another excavation from April to July 1982. The excavation area was adjacent to the south of the first excavation zone, consisting of 15 squares of 5×5 meters each, covering an excavated area of 375 square meters.

　　  Discovered remains include two house foundations, over 60 pits, two pottery kilns, and 16 tombs, along with a collection of pottery, stone tools, bone tools, and more.

　　  In May 2013, it was designated as part of the seventh group of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
