▲pottery fragments found by netizens on the yazi river

recently, a netizen named "shande youxing" said that on september 17, he accidentally found a large number of pottery fragments from the shang and zhou dynasties on the bank of yazi river in guanghan city, sichuan province, and immediately called the police. this discovery attracted great attention from the sanxingdui museum and the local cultural relics protection department, and relevant department staff immediately rushed to the scene for investigation.

according to the netizen's description, he found a large number of pottery fragments in an open space on the yazi river near sanxingdui, and judged that they might be pottery fragments from the same period as sanxingdui. "these pottery fragments are very delicately made, some with rope patterns, and can be picked up at random, with extremely high density." he also introduced that the number of pottery fragments found this time is large, including fragments of high-footed pottery beans, jars and other artifacts, showing the superb level of pottery production at that time. rope patterns are one of the important identification marks of pottery from the shang and zhou dynasties. he said that the reason he was able to identify these pottery fragments was due to his usual research on history and outdoor research experience.
