The Zhuangqiaofen site in Pinghu City, Zhejiang, was excavated in 2003- 2004. In the excavated area of about 2,000 sq m, archaeologists discovered three man-made earthen platforms of the Liangzhu culture, revealed 236 tombs of the middle and late Liangzhu, and brought to light nearly 100 ash-pits, ash-trenches and sacrificial pits. The unearthed objects number approximately 2,600 pieces （sets）, including pottery, stone, jade, bone, antler, ivory and wooden artifacts. The pottery vessels account for the majority of the finds, and a noteworthy object is so far the earliest compound stone plough with a wooden base. The tombs on the site, dense in arrangement, are relatively concentrated in date and often intruded by and superimposed upon each other in stratigraphy, and form the largest cemetery recorded so far in the Liangzhu culture. The site is of great academic value to understanding the the nsettlement pattern and scale as well as social structure。
