兴乐坊遗址位于陕西华阴市桃下镇兴乐坊村南侧,北依渭水,南靠秦岭山脉。2009年3～7月,陕西省考古研究院和渭南市文物保护考古研究所在该遗址发掘了约1000平方米,发现庙底沟文化时期的灰坑52个、窑址3座、墓葬1座、瓮棺葬1座,出土丰富的遗物。

In 2009,archaeologists found a rich deposit of animal remains at the Xinglefang site in Hu ayin County,Shaanxi Province.The remains were carefully collected by the excavation unit and were identified,measured,and classified.The result of the sorting and analysis indicated that there were at least 10 species,including mudsnail,Unio douglasiae,chicken,quail,dog,domestic pig,roe,spotted deer,goral,and etc.It is particularly important the finding of partridge humerus,in fact the first time ever being reported in China.The existence of certain animals suggests a warmer and damper climate at the time than it is today in the Huayin region.The bones of chickens,dogs and pigs account for 92.8% of the mammal remains,and those of pigs are the largest in number. Except for the domestic animals,hunting wild animals was another one of the sources for meat.
