Zhangjiapo

Western Zhou / Chou site near the Feng River, southwest of Xi'an, China. Extensive remains may be connected with the Zhou capitals Feng and Hao. Early finds include tombs similar in construction to Shang tombs, some with human sacrifices; chariot burials; bones used in divination, mostly uninscribed; and sherds of glazed stoneware. A bronze hoard, many inscribed, range in date over most of the Western Zhou period.
