The stratigraphic deposits and their contents show the site to consist of three phases of remains. The first phase corresponds to the Longshan period in Jiangxi and features distinctly the dish-shaped ding, the conic ding-leg with pierced oval mark pattern and the flat ding-leg. The phase Ⅱ goes back to the time from the Xia to early Shang period; the unearthed dish-shaped ding, ring-foot gu cup and other objects reflect that it was influenced by the Central Plains culture but still maintained a lot of cultural elements of its own.
