In 2022,the Anyang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology discovered and excavated the Sangyuan site of the Late Shang Dynasty site,located east of Sangyuan Village in Gaozhuang Town,Anyang County.A total of 96 Shang Dynasty tombs,16 wells,730 ash pits,1 kiln site,and 1 bovine skeleton pit were uncovered,yielding over 300 artifacts made of pottery,bronze,stone,bone,horn,and shell.Among the Shang tombs,M24 is the most significant,with 13 bronze artifacts unearthed.Despite being damaged by a Warring States tomb,the adjacent M92 still produced a set of bronze gu and jue vessels,which is particularly remarkable.Based on the characteristics of the tomb structures and the artifacts found,it is highly likely that the occupants of tombs M24 and M92 were two successive leaders of the community that inhabited this site.In recent years,several Late Shang Dynasty sites,including the Sangyuan site,have been discovered in the eastern area approximately 10 kilometers from the palace and ancestral temple area of Yinxu.These discoveries provide new data for studying the extent,layout,functional zones,and cultural implications of the"Great City of Shang"at Yinxu.
