They are assigned to the Hongshan culture along with numerous archaeological discoveries obtained in the last two decades or so. Actually this dating is lacking in objective evidence because their stratigraphical contexts and association with other objects are often indefinite. On the typical site Niuheliang, there exist remains of the Hongshan and the Lower Xiajiadian cultures, and jades come mainly from cist burials. These graves usually contain no other funeral objects, and layers of the Hongshan culture have often intruded into the tomb pits. On the other hand, the cists known so far in the Hongshan culture have not yielded jades. Meanwhile, such jades are seen in the Lower Xiajiadian culture,the Lady Hao's tomb on the Yin Ruins, and the Jiangjialiang cemetery within Yangyuan, Hebei, which are one or two thousand years later than the Hongshan culture. Therefore, the so-called “Hongshan jades” should be further studied as to their nature and name.展开更多
