and explorations were conducted at 7 locations， accounting for 45 percent of the investigated artifacts. Additionally， providing important clues that copper mining in this area can be traced back to over 5， aiming to achieve new breakthroughs in the dating。

000 years， according to the Information Office of Huangshi’s People’s Government.

and level of Neolithic smelting remains. This will further clarify the connections between Huangshi，。

the prehistoric cultural development context of the Huangshi region has been preliminarily mapped out in terms of time and space. The study shows that the area was home to the Xuejiagang culture from around 5500 to 5300 years ago， southeastern Hubei Province and other regions in terms of mining。

including 60 metallurgical-related artifacts collected from 18 sites.

The next step in the research will be to conduct special archaeological excavations at several key heritage sites。
