Prehistoric villages ruins discovered in North China by bat400 on Sunday, 17 October 2010

Chinese archaeologists have found the ruins of two prehistoric villages in Tongliao City of eastern Inner Mongolia.

Submitted by coldrum --
The archaeologists in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region found the ruins in Hamin'aile Village, of Horqin Left-wing Middle Banner (County).

The remains were identified in the spring as possibly originating from Hongshan Culture, dating back 5,000 years, said Ji Ping, a researcher at the Institute of Cultural and Historical Relics and Archaeology of Inner Mongolia.

About 1,200 square meters had been excavated out of an estimated 200,000 square meters, and homes and tombs had been discovered, said Ji, reports Xinhua.Pitted earthenware, such as jars and pots, were also found, which was the first time that have been unearthed in the prehistoric ruins in northeast China," he said.

"We have also found bones of deer and rodent animals, on which we suppose they lived by hunting," he added.

Another group of prehistoric village ruins were located in Nanbaoligaotu Village, of Jarud Banner, with a total area of 10,000 square meters, and more than 200 articles of earthenware, stoneware and jadeware had been discovered.nlike the Hamin'aile Village finds, the jade articles in Nanbaoligaotu Village were made with white jade, which was mainly found around Lake Baikal in Russia.

They were the first such discoveries in northeast China, said Ji.
The finds have provided vital information for the research of the prehistoric culture of the region, he said. (ANI)

Prehistoric bone hats found in Inner Mongolia by bat400 on Thursday, 14 October 2010
(User Info | Send a Message)
Submitted by coldrum ---
Recently, archaeologists found prehistoric hats of human beings who lived 4,600 years ago from an ancient tomb site at Tongliao City of Inner Mongolia. Experts said it was the first time this kind of hats, which were made from bones, have been found in the same period of prehistoric culture.

As of now, archaeologists have found and cleared near 400 ancient tombs dating back 4,500 years ago around the site, and more than 1,500 objects of pottery, jade stone, horn and clam shell were excavated.

The newly-found bone hats were tightly cramped on dead bodies' heads and had the obvious shape of hats. After inspection, every such hat was made from 15 or 16 animal bones, and the length and radian of those are all very delicate.

Archaeologists have found four complete such "bone hats" from those 400 ancient tombs.

    It would be good to see what they look like, they sound very unusual. Were they originally just bone or was the bone a framework for something that has perished?
