中国考古学家发现了一个6 000年之久的城市,这是在下长江三角洲已知最早的城市定居点。 Archaeologists in China uncovered a 6,000-year-old city, the earliest known urban settlement in the lower Yangtze Delta.

江苏省武西考古学家发现了一座史前城市,可追溯到大约6000年前,可能是中国下长江三角洲最早已知的城市定居点。 Archaeologists in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, have discovered a prehistoric city dating to about 6,000 years ago, potentially the earliest known urban settlement in China’s lower Yangtze River Delta. 与Majiabang和Songze文化相联的墙壁和护城河, 对早期城市发展、社会组织及文明的兴起提供了新的洞察力。 The site, spanning nearly 250,000 square meters, features walls and moats linked to the Majiabang and Songze cultures, offering new insights into early urban development, social organization, and civilization’s emergence. 该队由江苏省文化遗迹和考古学研究所周朗肯率领,发现包括陶器船在内的文物,突显了该遗址的历史和科学意义。 Led by Zhou Runken of the Jiangsu Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the team found artifacts including pottery vessels, highlighting the site’s historical and scientific significance. 这一发现增强了对早期社区如何过渡到东亚结构化城市中心的认识。 The discovery enhances understanding of how early communities transitioned to structured urban centers in East Asia.
