The Erlitou site contains cultural relics ranging from the Yangshao and Longshan cultures from about 3000 BCE to the Eastern Zhou and Eastern Han dynasties (25–220 CE).
The site had its heyday during the Xia dynasty from the 21st to 17th century BCE, and the culture created during this period is known as the Erlitou Culture.
