The Research And Analysis Of Animal Fossils And Microscrathes Marks On Their Surfaces From The Kuahu Bridge Site In Xiaoshan, Zhejiang

Cross-lake bridge site was discovered in the early 1990 s after three times excavations. Remained kettle, bowl, wire wheel, canoeing and rice economy is characterized by cross-lake bridge sites, in 2001 was named national "Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries"; officially named in 2004 for the cross-lake bridge cultural.
