Abstract: The Daxinzhuang Site is located in the plain area around the Southern Mountains of the east suburb of Jinan city. It is a big archaeological site composed mainly of remains of the Shang Dynasty. Although its chronology and relationships with other cultures have been well-studied, its manufacture has been rarely investigated. We have tried to study the technology and use patterns of stone tools of the site, but the research on the stone tools is based mainly on analyzing raw materials of stone tools excavated from the site as well as a regional systematic archaeological and geological survey. In this paper, we have studied the resource and exploitation strategy of raw stone materials of this site.Statistic analysis of archaeological samples indicated that there were various material resources of stone tools at the Daxinzhuang Site. Of 12 kinds of raw stone materials, sandstone and dolomite were the majority and gabbro, schist, diorite, graystone, and quartzite followed, while the others were the least to be used. In generally speaking, the distribution area of raw stone materials was broad around the site. Of all, the distribution areas of dolomite, graystone, and sandstone were the broadest; those of gabbro and diorite were smaller while those of the others were the smallest. Evidence also indicated that the use ratio of different types of materials was clearly related to its distribution. In general, raw materials of stone tools from the Daxinzhuang Site were characterized by high quantity but low quality. This apparently influenced the feature of local stone industry and peoples strategy of exploiting and utilizing natural resources. Regional systematic archaeological and geological survey of the Hua Mountain, the Woniu Mountain to the Bao Mountain, the Lieshi Mountain, the Liuzhiyuan Mountain, and the Mashan Hill around the site indicated that raw stone materials of the Daxinzhuang Site were local. Around the site, sandstone distributes mainly in the west slope of the Bao Mountain; graystone and dolomite mainly around the Southern Mountains and the Bao Mountain; gabbro and diorite mainly in the Wuying Mountain of Jinan city and the Southern Mountains, and the others are rarely found in local place. As far as landform, transportation, and stone texture are considered, raw stone materials should be mainly from the Southern Mountains and the Bao Mountain. The transportation was supposed to include mainly waterway, although landway existed too.Evidence also shows that stone tool makers in Daxinzhuang knew characteristics of stone materials, especially sedimentary stones well and used them widely and efficiently in stone tool manufacture. They have developed capability of using different kinds of raw stone materials to make different patterns of stone tools.
