According to the "Oriental Morning Post", archaeologists recently excavated residential sites of human settlement in early New Stone Age (9,000 to 8,000 years ago) in the Peiligang Cultural layer of Tang Period at 13 kilometers south Xinzheng City, Henan Province of China. It is not only the first time for China to excavate large-area relic of prehistorically civilization, but also is the first time to discover "double-room" habitat (a large and a small).
Zhang Songlin, director of the Zhengzhou Cultural Relics and Archaeological Institute said that the unearthed relic site include 60 houses sites, covering more than 6,000 square meters. It is divided into three groups, about 20 for each. At the regional center of each group, there is the so-called "double-room" house, which was most likely belonging to important figures in the ethnic groups.
