Unearthed pottery

More than 1000 pieces of pottery have been unearthed, including oyster, pot, bowl, pot, basin, bowl, cup, net pendant, etc.

The cultural layer of the site is divided into upper and lower layers. The lower layer is earlier, equivalent to the end of Shang Dynasty, and the upper layer is later, equivalent to the end of Western Zhou Dynasty. The carbon-14 values are 3260 ± 70 and 2900 ± 100 years ago, respectively.

Half crypt

Two houses were found in the baijinbao site, both of which are half crypt type. The pottery kiln in the site is oval in shape, 1 meter long and 0.8 meter wide, with a two-story platform. The bottom of the kiln is oval, and the size is equal to that of the kiln mouth.

The longitudinal section of the kiln is bag shaped. The decorative art of unearthed pottery is characterized by a variety of regular geometric patterns composed of delicate castor patterns, including animal like patterns of sheep, deer, camel and frog, and patterns of thunder and cicada of Shang and Zhou bronzes in the Yellow River Basin.
