金沙遗址位于成都市西郊,是一处大型的商周时期古蜀文化中心遗址,现已发现祭祀区、重要居住区、一般居住区和墓地等。出土金器、铜器、玉器、石器等珍贵文物2000余件及大量象牙和陶器;还发现了一些与宗教祭祀活动相关的特殊遗迹现象。

The Jinsha site discovered in 2001 lies in the western suburb of Chengdu City and occupies an area of over three sq km, with the vestiges laid out in certain order. Extensive excavation has revealed sacrificial plots, major and ordinary living areas, and cemeteries. The unearthed objects include more than 2,000 valuable gold, bronze, jade and stone articles, a large amount of ivory, and tens of thousands of pottery vessels and shards. Some peculiar phenomena are concerned with religious sacrificial activities. The site is left from a central settlement of the ancient Shu culture.
