The reporter learned from the important progress work meeting of the "Archaeological China" major project held by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage on the 13th that archaeologists found a prehistoric settlement site about 4,000 years ago in Kangma County, Tibet - the Mahao Site. Archaeology at the site found 10 tombs, as well as fire ponds, ash pits and other relics of human life, excavated stone tools, pottery, bone tools, mussel ornaments, talc beads, jade pipe beads and other relics. The Machu site represents a new type of archaeological culture, which is of great significance for establishing the sequence of prehistoric archaeological cultures in Tibet and exploring the extreme environmental processes and strategies of human adaptation to high cold and lack of oxygen.
