It was completely excavated in 1999 and yielded plenty of cultural remains from the Zhou period and iron foundry vestiges from the Spring and Autumn period. The abundant pottery includes clay and sandy wares, in which there are the ding tripod, li tripod, yan steamer, fu cauldron,jar, dou stemmed vessel, yu container, pot, basin, long-necked jar, trumpet-shaped object, pointed-based cup, etc. The cultural connotations are rather complex and comprise elements of the Shang and Zhou cultures in the Central Plains and those of the Shang and Zhou, Ba and Chu cultures in the Yangtze-Hanshui Plain. Chronologically the site goes back to the temporal scope from the mid Western Zhou to the Spring and Autumn period. The numerous irons, pottery molds and other foundry remains unearthed are of important value to the study of iron production in the Spring and Autumn period.展开更多

The Jijiahu remains can be divided intothree phases, and should be called Jijiahu type of Shijiahe culture. 2. The Chadianzi, Jiangjiaqiao andWangjiadu sites are identical with Shibanxiangzi in cultural character. 3. The Jinaohe site is a little ear-lier than the Shihanxiangzi site although they are close to each other geographically. Moreover, it shouldnot be assigned to the Handong Shijiahe type. 4. The Shibanxiangzi remains should not be called “Jijiahutype”, “Ji-Shi remains” or “Jijiahu-Shibanxiangzi type”; they ought to be named Shibanxiangzi culture.展开更多
