Afterward, Chen, Lu, Xu, Zhang and Yan Families continually moved to Chimei Township. Nearly, Zangzhenhua and his partners discovered the remains of Nangang ancient culture - ¡§the earthenwares with band lines¡¨ which belonged to the period about 4500 years ago at the distance about 250 meters from the Tomb of Seven Beauties northeastward and sequentially detected three relic locations of ¡§Stone Manufacturing Plant¡¨ in 1983 and 2000: Nangang, Donghu and Xibeiwan Stone Manufacturing Plant. This discovery made Chimei an important role on the prehistory of Taiwan. |
