Cishan

alternative Tz'u-shan

1. A Neolithic culture in northern China.

   In Manchuria, changes in subsistence and sedentism can be traced through time and between regions. Interpretations of millet cultivation in Manchuria vary, but in general the sites are regarded as related to and derivative from the Cishan culture.

   Major archaeological finds of the last three decades include the earliest known sites along the Yellow River valley. Some of these sites are classified as belonging to the Cishan culture, after the type site in Wu’an, Hebei Province, and others to the Peiligang culture, after their type site in Xinzheng, Henan Province; both are datable between about 5500 and 5000 B.C.[…] But a few are comb-marked, and at certain Cishan sites, some cord-marked or painted ones have been found. The common vessels are bowls, round-bottomed or with three short legs; deep, wide-mouthed jars; pots with two tiny lugs; caldrons with three or four legs (ding); and, in settlements of the Cishan culture, straight-walled, flat-bottomed jars (yu) and flat-topped, hollow pot supports.
