About
The Dulan Site in Taitung County, Taiwan, is an archaeological location of significant cultural heritage, dating back approximately 3,000 years, placing it within the Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. This site is characterized by its unique stony coffin and associated stone piles, which suggest burial and possibly ceremonial use. The area is divided into two distinct sections: one containing the stony coffin and the other featuring a stony wall. These structures provide insights into the funerary practices of the ancient inhabitants and highlight the site's value as a third-grade historical site in Taiwan. The discovery of the site during the Japanese rule of Taiwan and subsequent investigations by Academia Sinica have brought to light its importance in understanding the prehistoric cultures of the region.
