"The stone drill is 6.3 centimeters long and was made of gravel. There is a spiral-shaped bit on each end of the drill. We've also found a groove on its body, which is believed to be used to fasten string or belt when making jade ware."
The Lingjiatan relics site is a Neolithic settlement site dating back 5,300 to 5,800 years, with a total area of about 1.6 million square meters.
Since it was discovered in 1985, Lingjiatan has been famous for the jade ware unearthed in previous excavations.
