Neolithic ruins at Dongshan Village near Lake Tai Hu in eastern Jiangsu province
The Neolithic ruins at Dongshan Village near Lake Tai Hu in eastern Jiangsu province provide evidence of one of the earliest Chinese civilizations ever found. Covering more than 2,000 square meters the site is divided into two parts: the eastern area where eight tombs have been found with over 200 pieces of jade, stone vessels and pottery, and the western part where a number of small tombs and house ruins have been discovered. All the tombs are strictly organized into social levels providing the earliest yet proof of China's ancient hierarchy system during the era of the little known Songze culture.
