Ancient Settlement in Gaoqing County in Shandong Province.The excavation recovered a city site of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the surrounding ditches of the Eastern Zhou Period; inside the city site, house foundations, ash pits, cellars, rammedearth platforms, wells, burials and chariot and horse pits, including two T-shaped large-sized tombs, were recovered.
From these remains, pottery wares, bronzes, shell and bone implements were unearthed. Among the bronzes, about 10 pieces had inscriptions, two of which had long inscriptions comprising over 70 characters. Chenzhuang Site is the earliest Western Zhou city site found to date. The high-ranked tombs and sacrificial altars found in the city site showed that this city site was a regional center during the early and middle phases of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
