     In the Huai River valley, which as we saw has yielded good evidence of Shang occupation in the Erh-li-kang phase, there have been a number of late Shang sites that have been reported on, but the only site of any notable scale is the residential-plus-burial site at Ch'iu-wan 丘灣, north of Hsü-chou in northwestern Kiangsu, discovered in 1959 and excavated in 1959, 1960, and 1965.
