Xinle culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Xinle culture (新樂文化) (5500-4800 BC[1]) was a Neolithic culture in northeast China, found primarily around the lower Liao River on the Liaodong Peninsula in Liaoning. The culture showed evidence of millet cultivation and pig domestication. The type site at Xinle was discovered in the Huanggu District of Shenyang.
It is named after an old inn, in which grounds the remains were first discovered.
