Houli culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Houli culture (chin. Houli wenhua 后李文化)(6500-5500 BC[1]) was a Neolithic culture in Shandong, China. The people of the culture lived in square, semi-subterranean houses. No evidence for millet cultivation was found. The culture showed evidence of dog and pig domestication. The type site at Houli was discovered in the Linzi District of Shandong and was excavated from 1989 to 1990. The culture was followed by the Beixin culture.
