Previously, relics from the Xia-Shang period at the Dongxia-Feng Site were categorized as "round cake lids." However, this paper challenges that classification through analysis, suggesting that these artifacts served different functions. The non-perforated items are identified as pottery-making trays, while the perforated ones are steaming grates. This distinction holds significance in multiple aspects, aiding in the deeper understanding of Xia and Shang period pottery-making techniques. Furthermore, it allows for exploration into the cultural implications of archaeology by examining cooking utensils, shedding light on interactive communication and the inheritance of innovation between cultures.
