Heixin Kiln Site /h1
The Heixin Kiln Site is located about 300 meters northeast of Beijie Village, Juancheng County, Heze City. An earthen kiln mound approximately 10 meters long from east to west, 7 meters wide from north to south, and about 5 meters high remains on the ground, locally referred to as the "kiln mound." The site originally covered an area of about 200 square meters. However, it was severely damaged when local residents excavated part of it to use as fertilizer in their fields. During the digging, a large number of stone coffin tombs and brick-constructed tombs were discovered, containing abundant funerary objects such as pottery tripods, pottery pots, pottery beans, pottery horses, pottery figurines, bronze mirrors, as well as Han bricks, stone axes, deer antlers, and pictorial stones. The unearthed items are extremely rich. Among the preserved artifacts, pictorial stones are the most numerous. To this day, intact and fragmented pictorial stone blocks can be seen throughout the village. The stones are carved with patterns of snakes, bears, dogs, waterfowl, fish, and more. Although the carvings appear rough and simple, the lines are smooth and lively, and the images vividly expressive. These patterns vividly document many aspects of the social life at the time, providing valuable material for understanding the economy, culture, and art of the period. Based on the preserved fragments—such as deep-bellied jars, basket-patterned jars, li tripods, ding vessels, small-mouthed jars, paired-mouthed jars, and urns—it is evident that the Heixin Kiln Site was an early ancient residential settlement. It reflects the early culture, production, and burial customs, offering rich cultural heritage. It also provides important clues for studying the distribution, living environment, and living conditions of ancient residents in the southwestern Shandong region.Share
