 Chengtoushan is located on the banks of the Chenshui River in Lixian County, Hunan Province, in the Liyang Plain at the northwest edge of Dongting Lake. This site, which archaeologists have referred to as "the earliest urban prototype in China", was discovered by local cultural workers in 1979. From 1991 to 2011, it was systematically excavated by the Hunan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics. The site has a circular layout. The existing city wall has a diameter of approximately 325 meters, covering an area of nearly 80,000 square meters. The cultural deposits are up to 12 meters thick, with successive layers of remains from different periods such as the Daxi Culture, Qujialing Culture, and Shigezhou Culture, forming a condensed history of prehistoric civilization development in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. (Joint Chinese-Japanese Research on the Environmental Archaeology of the Liyang Plain and Related Comprehensive Studies [M]. Beijing: Cultural Relics Press, 2012.)
 The most astonishing discovery at the site was the rice field ruins dating back to 6,100 years ago. Archaeologists unearthed a regular irrigation system within the city wall, including ponds, ditches and ridges. Carbonized rice and rice husks were detected in the soil, and through carbon-14 dating, it was confirmed to be artificially cultivated rice. This predates the rice remains in the Indus River Basin by approximately 2,000 years. Within the city, there were also the earliest clusters of pottery kilns in China, among which a well-preserved horizontal cave-style pottery kiln with clear structures of the kiln chamber, firebox and flue was unearthed. The unearthed pottery vessels such as sandy red pottery jars and black pottery beans demonstrated the highly advanced pottery-making techniques at that time. What is particularly important is that the moat surrounding the city wall was 35 meters wide and about 4 meters deep, forming a complete defense system together with the rammed earth city wall. This "city ditch and city wall interdependent" planning concept predates the defense works of Ur City in the Tigris-Euphrates River Basin by approximately 1,000 years.

 II. Cultural Connotations
 The "irrigation rice farming system" of the ancestors of Chengtoushan is a representative of the agricultural civilization in East Asia. The rice field ruins are in a checkerboard pattern, with each plot measuring 50 - 80 square meters. The clay-built field ridges, along with water ditches and ponds, form a self-flowing irrigation network, which is different from the wheat cultivation system in the Tigris-Euphrates River Basin. The stable rice yield supported 2,000 - 3,000 people, promoting                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     the division of handicrafts and social stratification. The different functional sites within the city indicated the formation of a "agricultural producers - handicraft workers - managers" social structure.( Guo Weimin.

 城头山坐落于湖南澧县涔水河畔，地处洞庭湖西北边缘的澧阳平原。这片被考古学家称为"中国最早城市雏形"的遗址，于1979年被当地文物工作者发现，1991-2011年期间由湖南省文物考古研究所进行系统性发掘。遗址平面呈圆形，现存城垣直径约325米，总面积近8万平方米，其文化堆积厚达12米，自下而上依次叠压着大溪文化、屈家岭文化、石家河文化等不同时期的遗存，构成一部浓缩的长江中游史前文明发展史。
 遗址最震撼的发现当属距今6100年的水稻田遗迹，考古人员在城墙内侧发掘出规整的灌溉系统，包括水塘、水沟与田埂，田土中检测出炭化稻米和稻壳，经碳十四测年证实为人工栽培稻，这比印度恒河流域的水稻遗存早约2000年。城内还出土了中国最早的陶窑遗址群，其中一座保存完好的横穴式陶窑，窑室、火膛、烟道结构清晰，出土的夹砂红陶釜、黑陶豆等器物，展现了当时高度发达的制陶工艺。尤为重要的是，环绕城垣的护城河宽达35米，深约4米，与夯土城墙共同构成完备的防御体系，这种"城壕相依"的规划理念，比两河流域乌尔城的防御工事早约1000年。
