Shishan Site

The Shishan Site lies at what is now Shishan, Shiqiu Subdistrict, Lishui District. In the list attached to the district government's notice on the third batch of district-level protected sites (Li Zheng Fa [2017] No. 197) the site is recorded as Neolithic, and its location under the name then current, Shishan, Shiqiu Town; Shiqiu Town became Shiqiu Subdistrict in 2018, and address uses the current name.

The district list gives only the period, the level and the location. It gives neither the extent, the area nor the stratigraphy of the site, and neither an excavation report nor a survey report for it has been traced. This entry therefore describes neither the remains nor the finds, and era reproduces the period recorded in the list.

Entry to be expanded. This is a skeleton entry: at present it guarantees only that the fields and sources are complete. Still to be added: the extent and area of the site, its cultural layers, the circumstances of any survey or excavation and the finds, a closer dating of the material (the list gives only the general "Neolithic"), and the published text of the third batch list. Until then, no unverified data on the remains will be entered.
