Located on a hilly terrace west of the Taihang Mountains and flanked by the Songxi River, the site was excavated in 2024 and 2025 by the Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology and partner institutions, leading to the discovery of 18 tombs, including six Xia Dynasty burial sites and 12 Warring States Period (475BC-221BC) graves. 
"These are the highest-ranking Xia aristocratic tombs discovered so far, indicating that this location was a regional center," the institute said.
The Xia Dynasty is traditionally regarded as China's first hereditary dynasty, though contemporaneous written records are lacking.
The well-organized Xia tombs, concentrated in the western part of the cemetery, feature uniform east-west oriented vertical earthen pits. Researchers recovered nearly 40 sets of artifacts with distinctive local cultural characteristics, including pottery, lacquerware and turquoise ornaments. 
Extended regional surveys across the Songxi River valley yielded more than 10 Xia and Shang period sites. Test excavations at nearby relic sites unearthed pottery fragments, stone tools, bronze knives, as well as tin-bronze ingots and smelting residue, providing solid evidence of early metal mining and craftsmanship. 
Local copper-iron symbiotic ore deposits confirm exploitation of these resources during the Xia and Shang eras, while typical cultural artifacts found in adjacent counties reveal widespread regional cultural exchange.
Multidisciplinary analyses further decoded the civilization's features. Ancient human remains belong primarily to the ancient population of the Central Plains with minor Mongolian Plateau ­genetic traits, forming a stable patrilineal clan. The community relied on millet farming and maintained long-distance resource trade networks. 
Artifact provenance tests trace scallop shell ornaments to the Bohai Sea, cinnabar to Hunan-Guizhou ore belts, turquoise to the eastern Qinling Mountains area, and coffin timber to local Taihang pine trees. Such diverse materials reflect close interaction among the Taihang foothills, the press release noted.
Lab restoration unveiled refined ritual relics, including a dragon-patterned lacquer cylinder with red and black stripes and an intact lacquer gu vessel (a type of wine vessel). Turquoise plaques from the site match specimens from the Erlitou site, a core Xia cultural relic, proving ­cross-regional cultural interaction. Radiocarbon dating places the site's active period between 1880BC and 1450BC, aligning with the late Xia Dynasty.
Scholars confirmed the findings have helped reshape academic understanding of Xia-Shang civilizations and reconstruct multi-level settlement patterns on the western Taihang foothills, while offering new insights into social complexity and civilization development in early China.
。    4月24日#苹果客服回应发现石油触发定位#冲上热搜究竟是怎么回事　　据了解，事情起因是有网友在评论区发送评论“我发现大量石油”，结果iPhone就会自动打开手机定位。　　有网友称苹果手机是在收集、发送位置信息。　　相关话题下，不少网友评论，“是真的！我验证过了！太可怕了”“我同事刚试了，确实有”。但也有部分人表示，“没出现”。 　　还有人评论称，“输入‘发现’都能触发”。　　对此，苹果官方客服回应：因为是默认开启定位，手机便会有更新的状态，不光是发东西，任何操作都有可能会触发定位，没有信息支撑说发什么文字便会自动开启定位。　　如果是因为手机默认开启定位才导致这种情况发生，那么除了苹果系统之外，安卓系统是否也同样会触发自动定位呢？南方都市报记者也在安卓品牌手机上，进行了相同的测试，在搜索框中搜索“发现石油”，发现安卓手机上也同样出现了和苹果类似的定位标识。　　对此，有业内人士表示，搜索“发现石油”便会自动定位并不是苹果手机的“独家专利”，反而是智能手机中存在的普遍现象。自动定位服务是应用服务商为了给用户提供更精准的服务，会使用自动定位功能精准定位客户的位置，从而让用户所在地的相关内容提前，使搜索结果更加贴近用户本地化或者个性化的数据需求。“实际上，在移动智能终端不管搜索什么内容，只要设备有将开启定位的权限授权给相关应用，那么在检索数据的时候应用都会自动开启定位功能。”　　上述人士还表示，如果用户不需要自动定位功能，也可以控制应用拒绝访问所在位置，在APP内将定位关闭，或者是关闭手机的查找功能，但相关应用的部分功能也可能因此不能正常使用。　　（中国小康网微信公众号综合四川观察、闽南网、南方都市报、网友评论）　　图源：网络　　编辑：武金洋　　审核：王芳。
