The Chengtou Mountain Historic Ruins Park--located in Chexi Xiangcheng Tou Mountain Village, Henan Province--was discovered by an archaeological worker in 1979. Thirteen archaeological digs were conducted between the years 1991 and 2011. Apart from the archaeological workers discovering city walls, city gate installations and an outer moat, they also discovered large platform-style housing structure foundations of different cultural eras in the Tangjia mound and from Daxi to Wujia Ridge, with complete ceramics workshops, broad streets, dense family clan tombs and a complete large-scale altar along with irrigation facilities for a rice paddy (dating back 6,500 years).
