Drawing on evidence from stratigraphy,typology,and archaeological context,this study provides a clear definition of the Xiaonanshan Culture,dated to approximately 7000 to 6500 BC.Through typological comparisons and chronological data,the Xinkailiu Culture remains at the Xiaonanshan Site are estimated to date to around 5000 BC.By examining materials from the Voznesenovka Culture unearthed at the site,this paper investigates the origins and continuity of the punctate zhizi pattern in Northeast China.The jade artifacts of the Xiaonanshan Culture are pivotal for understanding the genesis of Chinese jade traditions and have profoundly influenced the subsequent Xinglongwa Culture.This development initiated a"jade road"linking northeast and southwest China.
