From pits and broken artifacts, heritage professionals are attempting to piece together the life of people living about 7,000 years ago in what is now Shenyang in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province.

Covering an area of 178,000 square meters, the Xinle Site is a Neolithic settlement dating back over 7,000 years. More than 3,000 artifacts and 40 house foundations have been found at the site during the course of six archaeological digs.

Tourists to the museum can visit the sites where artifacts were unearthed, and re-creations of clan meetings, the killing of prey and the making of stone tools.
