Site of 16 chariot burials in Hebei Province, China, which is also the location of a palace/temple complex of the Late Shang. The chariot burials suggest Indo-European contact with China. The chariot, which probably originated in the Caucasus, entered China via Central Asia and the northern steppe. Animal-headed knives, always associated with chariot burials, are further evidence of a northern connection.
