In July 2022,archaeologists announced a discovery of a 2.8 cm long 5.200 years old stone carving chrysalis in a semi-crypt house at the Shangguo Site in Wenxi County. Archaeologists made suppositions that this house may have belonged to the Yangshao Culture period,based on the unearthed pottery pieces. According to archaeologist Tian Jianwen,discovery of stone carving chrysalises provided significant information for the study of the silkworm culture in China. [3] [4]
