Shanbei Neolithic Site
山背遗址
A Neolithic site in Shanbei Village, Shangfeng Town, which gave its name to the 'Shanbei culture.' It suits archaeology and history enthusiasts who want to visit specifically.
The Shanbei Site is in Shanbei Village, Shangfeng Town, Xiushui County. Excavated in the 1960s, it yielded stone tools, pottery, and house foundations dating back about 4,800 years. It was named the 'Shanbei culture' and is an important find in Neolithic archaeology in Jiangxi. Some of the artifacts are displayed at the Jiangxi Provincial Museum. The site consists mainly of protective markers and open fields, with no large exhibition hall, so its visual appeal is limited. It is better suited to archaeology enthusiasts who stop by on the way, and it's a good idea to view the relevant exhibits at the county museum first. It is about 35 km from the county seat and requires a car.
