Meanwhile, between 2011 and 2012 at Shimao Stone City, three well-preserved stone enclosures — the Huang Cheng Tai platform, an inner city and an outer city — were discovered.

Inside the interior walls are residential zones, cemeteries, and craft workshops, dating from the late Neolithic and the early Xia Period (early Bronze Age), according to radiocarbon dates and excavated artifacts.

The Shimao walled site encompasses 400 hectares.

The 2013 Shanghai Archaeology Forum is being held in the China Art Museum in Pudong through tomorrow, bringing together 170 archaeologists.

The city forum will be held every two years, Wang said.
