Hongshan Culture Jade Artifact
Summary
Prehistory Gallery, Liaoning Museum, Shenyang. Complete indexed photo collection at www.WorldHistoryPics.com.
Hongshan culture, (c. 4000–3000 BCE) prehistoric culture of far northern China. It appears to have had a three-tiered elite whose members were honoured with complex burials. Painted pottery found there may link it to Yangshao culture, while its beautiful jade artifacts link it to other jade-working cultures on the eastern coast, such as Liangzhu (c. 3300–2200 BCE).
