Longshan
Site of a sophisticated late Neolithic culture 2500–1700 BC in northern China now situated in the province of Shandong in the lower Huang He (Yellow River) valley. More advanced than Yangshao, the culture was the immediate precursor of the bronze-using Shang civilization. Its distinctive burnished black ceramics were kiln-fired and the first in the Far East to be made on the fast wheel.
