Discovery and investigation of the Yushuta North Site in Jungar Banner

The Yushuta North Site is a new discovery from the Fourth National Cultural Relics Survey. Located on the west bank of the southflowing Yellow River basin, the site covers an area of more than 20,000 square meters. A considerable number of cultural relics of various types are scattered on the site surface, and its cultural features are characteristic of the late Neolithic Age. According to preliminary judgment, the site can be roughly divided into early and late phases, and its main cultural affiliation is closely related to the Haishengbulang Type of the Miaozigou Culture. The new discovery of this site provides new physical materials for indepth research on artifact evolution, settlement patterns, and social structures from the late Yangshao Culture to the Longshan Period in the Yellow River basin of Inner Mongolia.
