May 30, 2020 is an important day and a major discovery in archaeology. Archaeologists discovered the site of Jingtou Mountain in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and unearthed a large number of prehistoric utensils (including pottery fragments, stone tools, wood, drums and a large number of shells, etc.). Experts and scholars learned from these ruins how people lived and worked at that time. It is precisely because of these relics that archaeologists can study mammals, birds and aquatic and terrestrial plants at that time, which is a historic gain. According to experts' analysis, these living cultural relics date back 8000 years, which is 1000 years earlier than Hemudu culture. Where are these sites and what kind of culture are they?

First, about 8000 years ago! The discovery of Beiqiu prehistoric Jingtoushan site is the first discovery of Beiqiu site in Ningbo, and it is a major discovery in history. It has pushed forward the 8000-year history of life, labor and development in Ningbo and even the coastal areas. Archaeologists can clearly understand from these sites how the people in the southeast coastal areas of China were produced 8,000 years ago, what was their living conditions at that time, and what was their natural environment. At the same time, the Jingtoushan site also found the predecessor and origin of Hemudu culture for Yuyao culture.

2. What is the significance of the Jingtoushan site? First, the Jingtoushan site, which is the earliest human site found in coastal areas at present. It has pushed the history of China coastal areas forward by 1000 years. Secondly, it is Beiqiu. As the name implies, there are many shells in the site, which also shows that people here lived at sea more than 8,000 years ago. Thirdly, a large number of wooden utensils have been found, which can be considered to be very exquisite and meticulous 8,000 years ago. Wood products used similar? Mortise and tenon? Structurally, each joint is also coated with adhesive material. I can't help sighing that the wisdom of the working people is amazing. The wood unearthed this time is also the earliest tenon-mortise structure wood in China.

Jingtoushan site not only has artistic and historical value, but also has important value in the history of human development in China. It is also of great research value for us to understand the environmental change, climate change and ocean change in the past ten thousand years. The Jingtoushan site provided abundant research data for the production, living conditions and natural environment characteristics of the coastal areas of China at that time.
