In Beiwudu Township, in the northern county of Wuyang, in the province of Henan (central China), a Neolithic ensemble of Jiahu is hidden.
Through 8 archaeological excavations, a large number of Neolithic relics have been revealed, adding houses, ovens, ashtrays, tombs, vessel tombs and animal pits. More than 6,000 artifacts made of fabrics such as pottery, stone, bones, horns, teeth, and shells have been unearthed, along with a treasure trove of plant and animal remains.
These finds obviously illustrate that Jiahu’s ancestors had entered a highly evolved civilization characterized by plowing agriculture, gathering and hunting, fostering an early Neolithic culture, adding rice cultivation, music and brewing.
