China News Service, Sanmenxia, ​​November 28th (Kan Li) The reporter learned from the first Yangshao Forum on the 27th that new progress has been made in the archaeological work of the Neolithic Age in Henan. The Mianchi Yangshao Village Site, Lingbao Beiyangping Site, Nanyang Huangshan Site, etc. Over 130 square meters of "big house", multiple moats and the remains of granaries of similar size were discovered.

　　On the same day, the forum hosted by the Chinese Archaeological Society, the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Henan Academy of Social Sciences, the Henan Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, and the Sanmenxia Municipal People's Government was held through a webcast.

　　Li Shiwei, deputy director of the Prehistoric Archeology Research Office of the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, made a keynote report on the forum, saying that the fourth archaeological excavation of the Yangshao Village site in Sanmenxia, ​​Henan Province, which has continued to this day, has found rich relics such as house sites, trenches, cellars, and tombs. A large number of cultural relics.

A large Yangshao culture-period house was found in the south of the site, and four large artificial trenches were found in the middle.

　　According to archaeologists' speculation, this large-scale house building with a ground-level and rammed-earth wall foundation has an area of ​​more than 130 square meters, and its plane shape is square or rectangular.

This is the first time that large-scale housing remains have been discovered at the Yangshao Village site in more than a hundred years, and it has important academic value for studying the development and evolution of Yangshao Culture housing buildings.

　　In addition, the multidisciplinary research on animal archaeology, plant archaeology, and human bone archaeology around the Yangshao Village site found that the ancestors of the Yangshao Village site mainly obtained meat resources by raising domestic pigs, and occasionally hunting deer animals, birds and fishing. , which belongs to the developmental method of obtaining meat resources.

　　Since the beginning of this year, during archaeological excavations at the Huangshan site in Nanyang, Henan, archaeologists have newly discovered a group of granaries in the middle and late Yangshao period. The circular granaries on the ground appeared densely. Among them, there are 5 granaries with an area of ​​50 square meters on the same level.

　　The Huangshan site is a central settlement with distinct characteristics of jade and stone artifacts from the Yangshao, Qujialing, and Shijiahe cultures of the Neolithic Age.

The high-level tombs and large-scale jade-making workshops unearthed at the site are enough to prove that it was the political and economic center at that time.

At present, the archaeological work of the site is still in progress, and thousands of cultural relics of Yangshao, Qujialing and Shijiahe have been unearthed.

　　Ma Juncai, a researcher at the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, said in his keynote speech that the scientific and technological archaeological achievements of the Huangshan site are outstanding. A large number of millet and rice grains have been found in plant archaeology, and weed seeds are scarce in the entire site. Perhaps the site is not engaged in agricultural production. Resources may be supplied or traded.

　　This year, during the excavations in the northern and central southern parts of the Beiyangping site in Lingbao, Henan, archaeologists made new discoveries, including 7 Yangshao culture houses and 2 trenches.

　　Among them, F5 in the house site is a large rounded square semi-crypt, with an existing area of ​​172 square meters, a room area of ​​about 150 square meters, a restored area of ​​nearly 250 square meters, and a room area of ​​about 200 square meters. The largest house address found.

There are two fire facilities in the room, one is a large fire pit at the entrance of the room, and the other is in the east and south of the room.

The G1 in the trench is nearly 15 meters wide and 9 meters deep.

G2 is 13.6 meters wide and 6.85 meters deep.

The walls of the trenches are relatively straight and have good defensive capabilities.

　　Wei Xingtao, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, said in the keynote report that the Yangshao mid-period house sites excavated at the Beiyangping site span the north and south-central of the site, and are divided into two types: deep cave and semi-ground, with large, medium and small differences. In terms of scale, the semi-crypt house site is basically the same in structure, construction method, and building materials as compared with similar houses in the surrounding Xipo, Xiahe, Miaodigou, and Taoyuan sites.

　　He believes that the dissected G1 and G2 ages are basically the same, and it is likely that there were double or triple ring moats in the south of the settlement in the middle Yangshao period, so the Beiyangping site has strong defensive capabilities.
