In
1958, the Banpo Museum, the first on-the-spot museum in China, was
set up on the basis of the archaeological excavation. The museum consists
of two exhibition rooms and a great hall that houses the remains of
the village.
The
first exhibition hall in the front shows the production tools, including
axe, chisel, sickle, stone and pottery knives and others. They were
made smoothly by grinding and polishing. The second exhibition hall
shows a number of fine and elegant potteries and utensils. The large-scale
site hall in the back of the museum covers the well-preserved primitive
village remains with examples of houses, cellars and burial sites.The
Banpo Lady Statue on the rock in the garden pond bears a physical
resemblance to the early Banpo people.
In the north of the site, lies the communal cemetery. The adults and
children were buried in different ways. The adults were found to be
buried in various postures. Some were buried with their faces upwards,
some were buried with their faces downwards, and some were buried
with the limbs dended. The burying pits are in a proper order with
burial articles in each while children were always buried in rough
pottery jars near their houses. The burial pits are near the houses,
it seems that they are still in their mothers' bosoms.
The
Banpo Museum is one of the historical sites designated for state protection.
