Site of the Lu King’s Mound

　　The Site of the Lu King’s Mound is situated in Luting Village, Luting Town, with the Luwang River to the south and Anhe Road to the east. It is a platform-style site. The mound is roughly circular in plan and rises 3 to 8 meters above the surrounding area. It features a relatively thick cultural layer, from which artifacts such as stone axes, adzes, tripod leg fragments, li vessel leg fragments, rim fragments, and neck fragments have been collected. The decorative patterns include incised lines, string patterns, fingernail impressions, rope patterns, and added coil patterns. Based on the condition of the cultural layers and the collected samples, the site is dated to the Neolithic Age through the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Site of the Lu King’s Mound is a key cultural heritage protection unit of Tongcheng City.
