Abstract
The three terms of excavation to the Shunshanji Site confirmed that this site is a large-scale ditch-enclosed settlement in 8000 BP; the excavations recovered burials, house foundations, ash pits, ash ditches, hearth remains, large areas of burnt clay clod accumulations and dog victim pits of Neolithic Age, and unearthed potteries, stone and bone implements and jades. The Neolithic remains in this site can be divided into three phases. This discovery filled the gap of the ditch-enclosed settlement archaeology in the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River and provided new data and chances for the understanding to and studies on the prehistoric cultural genealogy and the interchanges and integrations of the cultures in East China. It also provided new clues for the discussions on the change of the prehistoric environment, the migrations of the faunas and the man-land relationship.
