According to the chronological relationship, divides the materials into groups and researches their relationship.Partâ…¢,The group and time of the other sites unearthed relic.There is no definite relationship in stratigraphy,except Niuheliang site and Xishuiquan site.It is hard to make further research in group division and dating judgement through analyses the Pottery shape and making style.This section compares the unearthed ware from Sandaowanzi,Erdaoliang,Silengsha,Zhuanshanzi,Xinglongwa F133 and F106,Baiyinchanghan,Charisitai,Nantaizi,Daqintala,Niuheliangâ… ,â…¡site,Hutougou,Zhizhushan,Dongshanzui with the typical pottery which have been defined groups,thus to judge their groups.Partâ…£,The stages division and dating judgement of the Hongshan culture.
