The Chuping Archaeological Site (traditional Chinese: 曲冰考古遺址; simplified Chinese: 曲冰考古遗址; pinyin: Qūbīng Kǎogǔ Yízhǐ) is an archaeological site in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. It houses relics of the first prehistoric mountain settlements in Taiwan.
Modern history
[edit]The site was discovered in 1980 in the upper area of Zhuoshui River valley. Three excavations were performed there between 1981 and 1987. The site was later covered again as a protective measure, with the intention of eventually transforming it into an educational exhibit. On 14 May 2019, the Ministry of Culture declared the site as Taiwan's 10th national archaeological site.[1]
Geology
[edit]The site is located at an altitude of 750 metres (2,460 ft).[2]
