The most startling discovery was the 3.9 x 3.1 x 4.68-meter M4 stone grave -- the largest grave ever found at the Neolithic Hongshan Culture Site in Niuheliang.
Foundations, tombs, ash pits and ash ditches were discovered inside the site, mainly from the second, third and early fourth phase of the Erlitou Culture.
The site contains large quantities of inscribed bronze ware from the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century-711BC) in Yangjia Village, Meixian County of Baoji City, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
In April 2003, the ruins of bronze workshops from the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century-711BC) were unearthed in the Zhouyuan area of Baoji City, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
In an amazing archaeological discovery last year, three terracotta army pits were unearthed in a Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220) tomb complex on Mount Weishan in Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province.
The discovery was literally made right in the backyard of the "Sage of Calligraphy " Wang Xizhi's former residence during the expansion of a nearby park in May 2003.
With an excavation area of 5,100 square meters, the site is about 86 meters long from south to north and 61 meters wide (at its widest point) from west to east.
The site of the ancient city lay right on the blueprint for the highway between Hohhot , capital of Inner Mongolia, and Jining city, located slightly to the northeast.
