Tang Dynasty Saltworks Discovered in Tianjin
Archaeologists recently unearthed the ruins of a salt-making workshop dating all the way back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) as well as a large number of relics in Dongli District of north China’s Tianjin Mu-nicipality, the municipal cultural heritage protection center said on December 29, 2021.
The salt-making workshop is located in the Jun-liangcheng site, where a large-scale rammed earth platform has also been discovered.
An excavation of the site was launched in April 2021, and an area of 8,000 square meters has been excavated so far.
Ancient wells, pits, ovens, and kilns for salt mak-ing along with tracks of wheels have been found at the site.
“This is the first time that ancient salt-making ruins have been discovered in Tianjin. The findings are of great significance to the study of the develop-ment of the salt industry in northern China in ancient times,” said Gan Caichao, a researcher at the center.Household utensils such as pottery jars, copper coins, and animal bones have also been found at the site.
