DAWENKOU CULTURE
It is a Neolithic culture developed around
the lower reaches of the Yellow River. It
is named after the archaeological site of
Dawenkou in Tai'an County of Shandong
province, discovered in 1959. It spans across
areas near Mount Tai in Shandong, reaching
Yellow Sea in the east, southern shores of
Bohai Gulf in the north, eastern borders of
Luxi Plains in the west, and Huaibei area of
Jiangsu in the south. Sporadic findings could
also be found in Anhui and Henan provinces.
Based on radiocarbon dating of findings,
Dawenkou Culture started around 4300
BC, and gradually evolved into Shandong
Longshan Culture around 2500 BC. This
connection suggests that a distinct network
centering Dawenkou and Shandong 2739
Longshan cultures was developed in the A SET OF SEVEN JADE ORNAMENTS
regions of Shandong and north of Jiangsu. DAWENKOU CULTURE, CIRCA 4300-2500 BC
The set consists of seven ornaments in various shapes and forms, including a
humanoid mask, a tortoise, a bird, a worm, a cocoon, and two cloud-scroll shaped
pendants. The mask, tortoise and bird each has two apertures on the back, while
the others each has one aperture. The stones are covered with alteration.
Mask: 1 ¡ in. (3.4 cm.) wide, box (7)
