The specific location of Luojiawan Ruins Site is 2 kilometers northwest of Luojiawan Village of Dongping Township in Tianzhu County.

Belong to Majiayao culture

It is a remains of Majiayao culture Machang-type, covering an area of ​​about 200,000 square meters and a cultural layer thickness of about 1.2 meters.

Unearthed tools & pottery

Many pieces of stone tools and pottery from Neolithic Age were unearthed here; Among them, the pottery includes square pattern colored pottery amphora, cylindrical cup, and pointed bottom bottle; Stone tools include stone knives, stone axes, stone chisels, stone pestles, etc. Most of them were made of sandstone by friction, and only a few were made of hard stone.
