Shaku Site

　　Shaku Site (Third Batch of Provincial Protected Sites)

　　Era: Neolithic Age

　　Location: West of Shaku Village, Huangshan Township, Huguan County

　　The site is situated on a earthen mound in the northwest of Shaku Village, distributed along the terraced fields following the terrain. It stretches 150 meters from east to west and 100 meters from north to south, covering an area of approximately 15,000 square meters. Exposed on the cliff face are ash pits, with cultural deposits up to 1.5 meters thick. A large number of pottery fragments have been found at the site, predominantly featuring corded, netted, and string-patterned designs. Identifiable artifacts include leg parts of tripods, stems of dou vessels, and rims, all made of clay mixed with sand. Complete pottery items such as tripods and cauldrons, as well as bone awls, stone spades, stone hammers, and stone axes have also been discovered.

　　To the south of the site, there is a stone slope leading to the Jade Emperor Seven Buddha Temple, locally referred to as the "Stone Fish Slope." Fossil specimens such as fish, sea snails, and tree leaves have been found on the "Stone Fish Slope."
