The
Lower Xiajiadian culture (; 2200–1600 BC) is an archaeological culture in
Northeast China, found mainly in southeastern
Inner Mongolia, northern
Hebei and western
Liaoning,
China.
Subsistence was based on
millet farming supplemented with animal husbandry and hunting. Archaeological sites have yielded the remains of pigs, dogs, sheep and cattle. The culture built permanent settlements and achieved relatively high population densities. The population levels reached by the Lower Xiajiadian culture in the
Chifeng region would not be matched until the
Liao Dynasty. The culture was preceded by the
Hongshan culture, through the transitional Xiaoheyan culture. The
type site is represented by the lower layer at
Xiajiadian, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia.
