Its main part was excavated from the spring of 2002 to the spring of 2003. These remains consist of the rammed-earth platform of the main pavilion and the vestiges of the eastern corridor, with the former occupying an area of over 460 sq m. Judging from the discovered vestiges, the fourth foundation can be reconstructed to represent a building complex formed of the main pavilion, the eastern and western corridors and the yard between them. These buildings were constructed in the third phase of Erlitou culture, roughly simultaneously with the complex represented by Foundation 2. The two compounds shared the same central axis and must have belonged to the same building group.展开更多

The results indicate that serial samples with clear relative stratigraphical location, on the basis of the reliability of ^14C dates, can provide more reliable chronological evidence. It can be believed that the building-foundations under discussion must go back to the early stage of the late Western Zhou period.展开更多
