Yanshi

alternative Yenshih

1. A district of Luoyang, Henan, China, formerly a county-level city.

   At present the direct antecedents of the sophisticated cast vessels from Erlitou-period tombs excavated at Yanshi near Luoyang remain undiscovered. Traces of earlier metal-working at Yanshi are hinted at in remains of crucibles and metal fragments, but much more information is still required.
