Lajia

Lajia ( Chinese 喇家遗址 , Pinyin Lǎjiā yízhǐ - "Lajia site") is a Neolithic site discovered in 2000, predominantly of the Qijia culture, on the north bank of the Yellow River (Huang He) in the village of Lajia (喇家村) in the municipality of Guanting (官亭镇) of the Autonomous Okrug Minhe the Hui and Tu of the district of Haidong in the east of the northwestern Chinese province of Qinghai . The prehistoric site is around 4,000 years old and covers an area of 200,000 square meters.

During excavations, pasta made of millet (Panicum miliaceum) and millet (Setaria italica) over 50 cm long and 3 mm thin were found in a sealed stoneware bowl.

A sound stone (dimensions 91 × 61 × 4 cm) was also found here (Huang He qing wang 黄河磬王 "Sound Stone King of the Yellow River"), which is considered the largest of its kind in China.

The Lajia site (Lajia yizhi 喇家遗址) has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (5-126) since 2001 .
