It was 2000 earlier than Sanxingdui, maybe this is the "source of ancient Shu"?

Recently, the "Cultural Relics Protection Planning Project Team of Yingguanshan Site" of the Chengdu Cultural Relics and Archeology Research Institute went to the New Stone Times Sites of Panshan, Yingpan Sichuan, Maoxian, Sichuan to conduct preliminary investigations of cultural relics protection planning. The site will also apply for the National Archaeological Site Park.

The site of Yingguanshan is about 5,300 to 4600 today. It is located near Fengyi Town, Maoxian County, Sichuan. It is 1600 meters above sea level and about 160 meters above the Mulong River Valley, with a total area of ​​nearly 150,000 square meters.

Since 2000, Yingguanshan Site has experienced 5 archeological excavations, and a total of 6 houses such as 6 houses, nine people's sacrifice pits and other relics were unearthed. Waiting for pottery sculpture art to be the most prominent.

In 2005, Yingguanshan Site was shortlisted for the 2004 "Top Ten Archaeological Discovery of the country".

In 2006, Yingguanshan site was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Ask if you don't understand, why is the Yingguanshan site so important?

Maybe it can tell you: Where does the ancient Shu people come from?

At present, the earliest Neolithic culture of Chengdu Plain is the Baodun culture of 4,500 years from the time, and it is 1500 years earlier than the Sanxingdui site of "Fire Circle". So is this "the source of ancient Shu"? No, the experts believe that the ancient Shu civilization may come from the Sichuan Plateau Shishi Times site represented by Maoxian Panshan, 5,000 years ago, and the upper reaches of the Minjiang River.

On October 17, 2016, at the academic seminar of "the source of the ancient Shu -the source and path of the late culture of the new stone in Chengdu Plain", the expert group believed that "Yingguanshan site is one of the important sources of the prehistoric civilization of Chengdu Plain, but ' The source of ancient Shu '"". At the meeting, experts unearthed cultural relics unearthed from the Panshan Site and Baodun Site, seeing the similarities and inheritance contexts from the production tools such as pottery along the mouth, decoration, and stone ax.

But whether it is the source of ancient Shu, it is still to be further archeological research.

The most important thing is not only academic research, Yingguanshan also provides a Sichuan recipe 5000 years ago

After many years of animal and plant archeological work, Maoxian Panshan site cleaned a total of 3,551 animal bone relics, 7992 carbonized plant seeds, and more than 300 fruit nuclear residues to form a seductive recipe from the ancient Shu era.

Source of staple food: Xiaomi (millet), yellow rice (黍) and rye

Source of meat: ox, pig, deer, etc. (It is reported that pork has achieved "basic freedom")

PS: There are fewer dog bones at Yingguanshan sites. Perhaps dogs are the best partner of Sichuan people 5000 years ago!

Fruit plus meals: peaches, plums, apricot.

Drink supply: sea buckthorn juice
