Jinsha (金沙) is an archaeological site in Sichuan, China.
Located in the western suburbs of Chengdu, Jinsha was accidentally discovered in February 2001 during road construction.
Located about 50 kilometers away from Sanxingdui, the site flourished around 1000 BC and shares similarities in burial objects with the Sanxingdui site.
In the meantime, experts say there is little question that Jinsha had a close relationship as well with civilizations that originated in the Yellow River valley, judging from the artifacts it has yielded.
Another Jinsha relic that indicates a connection to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is a jade vessel whose engravings are almost identical to those on vessels that appeared in the late period of the Liangchu culture, which began 5,000 years ago in an area in southeastern China.
The Jinsha green jade vessel is horizontally carved into 10 sections with nine shallow grooves, bringing about 80 convex lines on the whole piece.
