Jingshan County in the context of Qujialing culture

The Qujialing culture (3400–2500 BC) was a Neolithic civilization centered primarily on the middle Yangtze River region in Hubei and Hunan, China. Named after its type site in Jingshan County, Hubei, it succeeded the Daxi culture (5000–3300 BC) and reached southern Shaanxi, northern Jiangxi, and southwest Henan. The culture represents a significant development in Neolithic society, characterized by large-scale fortified settlements, advanced agriculture, and specialized craftsmanship. Artefact types unique to the culture include ceramic balls and painted spindle whorls, the latter inherited by the succeeding Shijiahe culture.
