<dc:title>Shell ring site of the ancient city of Jinning</dc:title>
<dc:description>Shell ring site are a type of ancient human settlement site. The cultural accumulation at such sites is dominated by shellfish. Shell ring site of the ancient city of Jinning in Yunnan is the most complete known annular shell mound site of the Pre-Dian period in Yunnan Province, China. The core area of the site reaches 42,000 square meters, and the shell mound accumulation thickness is nearly 6.5 meters. There are a large number of snail shells stacked alternately with layers of lime soil in the site. After the ancients ate the snail meat, they discarded the snail shells as food waste, and gradually accumulated them over the years, forming the shell mounds we see today.

The geographical location belongs to the northern latitude subtropical zone. However, most areas within the territory do not have severe heat in summer and severe cold in winter. They have typical temperate climate characteristics.</dc:description>
