The Baozitou site is an important riverbank shell-mound site in the Nanning area. Excavation there revealed substantial cultural and natural remains in good stratigraphical order, including pottery, stone, bone and shell artifacts for daily use and implements of production, as well as bones of aquatic and terrestrial animals as remains of diet. The cultural deposits can be divided into two phases. Belonging to the Dingshishan culture on the whole, they provide new evidence for understanding its pe-riodization and distribution. In addition, vestiges of primitive ceramics were revealed on the site. As the first discovery of this sort in Guangxi and even in all South China, they are of great significance to studying into the making technology of proto-pottery, including the selection of clay and temper and the firing method of products.
