Nanzhuangtou
Nanzhuangtou Ruins (南莊頭遺址) 11500-11000 cal BP.[1][2] was a Neolithic Yellow River site near Lake Baiyangdian in Xushui County, Hebei, China. The site was discovered under a peat bog.[3] Over forty-seven pieces of pottery were discovered at the site. Nanzhuangtou is also the earliest Neolithic site yet discovered in northern China. There is evidence that the people at Nanzhuangtou domesticated the dog.[4] Stone grinding slabs and rollers and bone artifacts were also discovered at the site. It is one of the earliest site showing evidence of millet cultivation dating to 10500 BP.[5] Pottery can also be dated to 10200 BP.[6]
