Hougaolao Site

　　   The Hougaolao Site is situated 100 meters northwest of Hougaolao Village, Gao Temple Town. As a Peiligang culture site, it features an oval shape, slightly elevated above the surrounding land, and is currently used as farmland. The cultural layer extends 225 meters from north to south, 180 meters from east to west, and is 1 to 8 meters thick, covering an area of 40,500 square meters. In 1978, it was designated as a county-level cultural heritage protection unit and is the earliest discovered cultural site within the county. Provincial, regional, and county archaeologists have conducted multiple surveys here, collecting a large number of pottery fragments, providing extremely valuable data for studying the distribution range of Peiligang culture and the interrelationships among various cultures.
