Banpo culture

The Banpo culture, part of the Yangshao culture, flourished in China's Yellow River basin around 5000–3000 BCE. This Neolithic society lived in partially subterranean houses and practiced agriculture, primarily cultivating millet. They also hunted, fished, and raised domestic animals like pigs, dogs, and sheep.123

Banpo people used tools made of stone and bone. Their pottery, often red or gray, was decorated with geometric figures and sometimes featured stylized fish designs. They fired their pottery in kilns. Children were buried in urns, and adults in pits. The Banpo site, located near Xi'an, is a significant archaeological find, and a museum now stands there.2
