Since October this year, Chinese archaeologists have been busy
excavating a Neolithic shell mound site in city Chongzuo of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southwest
China.
Workers toil on the excavation of a Neolithic
site in Chongzuo, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southwest
China, on Tuesday, December 4, 2007.
To date, archaeologists have unearthed numerous pieces of stone,
bone and mussel implements, ornamental items and the remains of
plants and animals in over 10 pre-historic tombs located 1.6 meters
under the ground.
Furthermore, they found a well preserved human being skeleton at
the excavation site. Experts presume that the site belongs to the
middle or late Neolithic era, about 6,000 years ago.
