Jingcun Site (First Batch of Provincial-Level Protected Sites)
Period: Neolithic Age
Address: 500 meters northwest of Jingcun, Wanquan Township, Wanrong County
Located on the northern side of Emei Ridge, bordering Gushan Mountain to the southwest, overlooking the Fen River to the north, and gradually descending toward the northeast, the site sits on a gently sloping terrain with higher elevation in the southwest and lower in the northeast, covering an area of about 100,000 square meters. It is a site where both the Yangshao Miaodigou type and Miaodigou II culture coexist. Excavations were carried out in 1931. The cultural layer is about 2 meters thick, with a 1-meter overburden, and features exposed kiln sites and ash pits. Collected artifacts include fragments of red pottery, gray pottery, painted pottery, and sand-tempered pottery. The site is well-preserved.
