Introduction
& nbsp; The Yuanshan Cultural Site is located within the Taipei Zoo. The site was originally a natural highland adjacent to the Keelung River and was discovered in 1897 (the 23rd year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty). The site contains two cultural layers, one above and one below. The upper body is a 2-meter-thick shell mound layer, containing a large number of discarded shells, animal bones, and utensils after human consumption. In addition, there are brown sand pottery with red paint or stripes painted on the surface, mostly with a pair of vertical handles attached to the shoulders from the lips. A small number of uniquely shaped and beautifully crafted double mouthed jars, as well as ground stone axes, hoes, adzes, chisels, gun heads, bone harpoons, and arrow heads, were unearthed from this layer for production and hunting purposes. The most distinctive among them are the shoulder stone axe and the segmented stone adze, which are important features of the late Neolithic culture in the southeastern coastal area of China. In addition, decorative utensils were also found. There are no shell mounds in the lower layer, and mainly unearthed pottery with rope patterns. It is one of the oldest prehistoric cultures in the Taipei Basin, dating back to about 4500 years ago, and has lasted for at least 2000 years in the area. Through archaeological comparison, it is inferred that the owner of the Yuanshan culture may have migrated from the coastal area between Haifeng and Guangzhou in Guangdong Province today
