The Jinsha was discovered in early 2001 in the northwestern suburb fo Chengdu City.After four years of excavations,we now have a general idea about the nature,the area of relics distribution and the cultural contert of the site.We intend ot present a general picture of the site in this publication,to tell our readers about the site's geographical location,the distribution of the relics,major deposits,and major artifacts that have been unearthed. As the excavation of the site is still going on and lots of unearthed relics are being sorted,we have not yet made an in-depth study of many materials.Our exposition of the site and its artifacts has just begun,and we welcome suggestions from our readers on anything that needs improvement.With new findings from on-going excavations and further studies,we are sure we can present better works on the site to our readers in the future.
