Research value

The discovery of Dawenkou site and Dawenkou culture is one of the great achievements of archaeological work in New China. This culture is mainly distributed in Shandong and Jiangsu and Anhui provinces adjacent to Shandong, and its age is roughly between the 44th century and the 24th century. Because of its discovery, the prehistoric history of this area lasted for about two thousand years from the Longshan period.

Dawenkou site is the naming place of Dawenkou culture. Its discovery reveals the burial form of local residents in Dawenkou culture period, finds the origin of Longshan culture in Shandong, and provides important clues for studying the primitive culture in Huanghuai basin and coastal areas of Shandong and Zhejiang.

The two excavations of Dawenkou site found a large number of residential areas in the early Dawenkou culture, and seven houses were cleared, all of which were square buildings, which was of great significance to the study of the settlement form of Dawenkou site. The shapes, sizes and construction methods of these houses are basically the same, and the plane distribution is patchy, and there is basically no mutual shelter between adjacent houses. It can be known that the house builders at that time mastered more accurate measurement technology and strict planning means, so that each group of residents could enjoy more equal resources. The unearthed cultural relics are mainly pottery, stone tools and bone utensils.

A total of 79 tombs/kloc-0 were cleared through three excavations at Dawenkou site, and 55 tombs of single men and women were identified by human bone identification, including 28 male tombs and 27 female tombs. According to the excavation report of Neolithic tombs in Dawenkou and the classification of tombs in the second and third excavation reports of Dawenkou site, Dawenkou can be roughly divided into three stages.
