China News Agency, Xi'an, November 1 (Reporter Alina) The reporter learned from the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology on the 1st that archaeologists discovered a large ring trench and an adult cemetery in the late Yangshao site at the Jiangliu site.

Among them, the abundant number of bamboo-shaped bone tools in the tombs is the first discovery of Yangshao archaeology. The unearthed location is clear and the burial background is clear, and its function may be related to the early textile and handicraft industry.

　　The Jiangliu Site is located in the northeast of Jiangliu Village, Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province.

In 2021, archaeologists cleaned up the rich late Yangshao remains at the Jiangliu site. At the same time, through comprehensive excavation, the southeastern boundary of the Jiangliu site was basically clarified.

In 2022, archaeological work will continue on the west side of the excavation area in 2021. On the basis of comprehensive exposure, the late Yangshao ring trench and cemetery were discovered.

According to the survey and exploration, the remaining area of ​​the site in the ring trench is about 200,000 square meters.

　　Archaeologists discovered the cemetery of Jiang and Liu Yangshao outside the southwest section of the Huanhao. The cemetery was about 15 meters away from the Huanhao, and 58 adult tombs were found in a concentrated distribution.

The cemetery seems to have been planned, and there is no broken relationship between the tombs. Most of them are northeast-southwest, with the head of the tomb head facing northeast and towards the ring moat.

　　None of the 58 tombs have clearly found traces of burial equipment, but some of the bones may have been wrapped in woven fabrics and buried.

The phenomenon of "cutting body" is more common, and it is more common for the palm or fingers to be cut off.

In addition, the "head burial" in which the head of the tomb owner was placed in a clay pot and the phenomenon of fetal fragments left in the pelvis of the tomb owner were also found.

　　The burial objects unearthed from the 30 tombs include bone tools, jade tools, stone tools, stone ornaments, etc. There are a large number of them, but the types are serious.

The unearthed positions of these bone artifacts are relatively fixed, most of which are located on the outside of the left arm of the tomb owner. The number varies from a few to thirty or forty.

　　According to archaeological experts, large ring trenches and adult cemeteries are major discoveries in Yangshao archaeology in recent years, especially in the late Yangshao period, providing important data for in-depth analysis of the settlement form and social structure of the late Yangshao in Guanzhong area.
