Air-supported structure covers 4,000-yr-old ruins in China

Xinhua, December 28, 2018

A museum showing 4,000-year-old human settlement ruins opened Thursday after an air-supported structure had been equipped to protect the site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The air-inflated dome was designed to cover nearly 10,000 square meters so that the temperature and humidity inside could be adapted to better protect the Erdaojingzi site in Hongshan District in the city of Chifeng.

The ruins of ancient streets, yards, adobe houses and unearthed articles are displayed in the structure.

The Erdaojingzi site is part of Lower Xiajiadian Culture, a branch of the northern bronze culture during the Xia and Shang dynasties 3,500-4,000 years ago, between the late Neolithic Age and Bronze Age. The site was listed as one of the top six archaeological discoveries in China in 2009.
