Gui of the Dawenkou culture

With dawenkou culture ( Chinese  大汶口文化 , pinyin Dàwènkǒu Wenhua ) a group of Neolithic communities in Shandong and Anhui , Henan and Jiangsu (all in today's People's Republic of China ), respectively. The culture existed from around 4100 BC. BC to 2600 BC Next to the Yangshao culture . There are artifacts from earthenware , turquoise , jadeite and ivory found.

In general, archaeologists divide the Dawenkou culture into three phases: an early (4,100–3,500 BC), a middle (3,500–3,000 BC) and a late (3,000–2,600 BC) phase. The early phase shows very egalitarian grave goods , characterized by beakers with long necks ( 鬹 , gui ). In the middle phase, the quantity of additions outweighs their diversity. In the later phase, wooden coffins were increasingly used.

The eponymous Dawenkou site (in Shandong Province) has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China since 1982 .
