Discovered in the spring of 1953, the Banpo site covers an area of about 50,000 square meters. It unveils the rich essence of a typical matriarchal clan settlement from the Yangshao culture of the Neolithic Age, illustrating the social structure, daily life, economic patterns, marital states, customs, culture and arts from roughly 6,000 years ago. The Banpo Museum in Xi'an stands as the first prehistoric settlement museum in modern China, encompassing both the Banpo site and the invaluable artifacts unearthed from it.
