Nanzhuangtou(Chinese:Nam trang đầu,Nánzhuāngtóu), dated to 12,600–11,300cal BP[1]or 11,500–11,000 cal BP,[2]roughly 9,500–9,000 BC, or 10,700–9,500 BP,[3]roughly 8,700–7,500 BC, is anInitial Neolithicsite[3]nearLake BaiyangdianinXushui County,Hebei,China.The site was discovered under apeat bog.[4]Over 47 pieces ofpotterywere discovered at the site. Nanzhuangtou is also the earliest Neolithic site yet discovered in northernChina.There is evidence that the people at Nanzhuangtou haddomestic dogs10,000 years ago.[5]Stonegrinding slabsand rollers and bone artifacts were also discovered at the site. It is one of the earliest sites showing evidence ofmilletcultivation dating to 10,500 BP.[2]Pottery can also be dated to 10,200 BP.[1]
The site was discovered in 1986, when a cultural layer of unearthed animalbones,charcoal,andstone toolswas discovered. The layer was 180 centimeters below the ground, which is covered with lake deposits such as thick black and gray silt clay. Three archeological excavations have been carried out so far by institutions such as the Department of Archaeology inPeking University,the Department of History inHebei University,the Hebei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics, and other cultural institutions in the city and county level.
The Early Neolithic period (7,000 BC–5,000 BC) succeeds Nanzhuangtou, and is characterized by the rise of farming villages across the alluvial plains of China, as seen in the site ofPeiligang.[3]
