Abstract
The article discusses the Neolithic city of Shimao, located adjacent to China's Great Wall, estimated to date roughly 4300 years ago. Excavation of the site is led by Zhouyong Sun of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology. The site has become the origin of an abundance of jade objects, monumental stone structures of two and three stories, goods from long-distance trade routes, and fine ceramics.
