Baodun culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baodun culture (宝墩文化) (2800-2000 BC[1]) was a Neolithic culture centered on the Chengdu Plain in Sichuan, China. Recently discovered, six settlements from the culture have been found: the type site at Baodun in Xinjin County, the site at Mangcheng in Dujiangyan, the site at Yufu in Wenjiang County, the site at Zizhu in Congzhou, the site at Shuanghe in Congzhou and the site in Pixian County. The type site at Baodun is the largest, and covers an area of around 600,000 m². All of the settlements straddled the Mian River. The settlement walls were covered with pebbles, a feature unique to the Baodun culture. The pottery from the culture share some similarities with Sanxingdui.
