Era: Neolithic Age
Location: 50 meters west of Jingsheng Village, Dawang Township, Ruicheng County
The site is bordered by Zhongtiao Mountain to the north and the Yellow River to the south. It extends about 3,000 meters from north to south and 600 meters from east to west. The cultural layer is 1–3 meters thick, with three layers of white lime surfaces exposed in cross-section, spaced 7–14 centimeters apart. The ground surface features numerous fragments of painted pottery, red pottery, and sand-tempered pottery. Artifacts collected include remnants of pointed-bottom bottles, bowls, basins, jars, bean pots, and tripods. In 1987, a complete painted pottery curved-belly jar was unearthed. Decorative patterns include dotted arc-triangle motifs, cord marks, incised lines, and applied relief designs. Stone tools such as axes, knives, and spades have also been collected. It belongs to the Miaodigou-type Yangshao culture, and the site remains well-preserved.
In May 2013, it was designated as part of the seventh batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
