On February 8th, 2001, the discovery of the ritual site revealed the secrets of Jinsha kingdom. From the archaeological features and associated artefacts found at the site, we believe that it is most likely to have been used as a ceremonial place located at the riverside area by the royal lineage of the ancient Shu kingdom. The whole ritual site covers an area of 15,000 square metres, corresponding with the late Shang through the early Spring and Autumn period of the Central Plains area (about 1200-650 BCE).
To date more than six thousand artefacts have been excavated from this site, including gold wares, jades, lithic tools, lacquered wood wares, and ceramic vessels. Aside from these, tons of ivories, boar tusks and deer antlers have also been identified. The excavation is still in progress, and many cultural relics are still buried in the earth as well. We believe that it will bring us more and more surprises.
