Dongyin site of the Upper Erligang period(early Shang),locates at Dongyin village,about 7. 5km south to Xiaxian town. For understanding the content and the nature of this site,especially for rescue purpose,we did a surveying and an excavation of 170m2 in Feb: 2000. Despite of various potteries and stones,a large of raw bone of the Upper Erligang period were found. These materials are important for our research on the procedure of bone artifact making and the nature of the site. The result of survey- ing of several time and one excavation of this site are reported in this paper.
