The Jiuxianglan Coastal Site is located by the sea in Taimali, Taitung County, covering an area of approximately twenty hectares and dating back between 1900 and 2200 years ago.
The site was discovered as early as March 1998, when only stone slab coffins were unearthed, and it was considered one of the sites of the ‘Beinan Culture Sanhe Type’.
It wasn’t until the Dujuan typhoon hit in 2003 that the buried site was re-discovered, sparking new research opportunities.
This site, close to the sea, is rich in cultural content, with not only artifacts featuring the pattern of the hundred-step snake but also numerous glass and carved deer antler and pig teeth items.
The industrial capabilities of the site’s tribe were also quite developed, with a variety of glass products, as well as abundant casting molds and iron-smelting techniques.
