Over seventy sites have been identified with the Peiligang culture, a name given by archaeologists to a group of Neolithic communities in the Yi-Luo river basin in Henan Province, China, named after the site discovered in 1977 at Peiligang (in Xinzheng county).

The site at Jiahu, dating to around 7000, is one of the earliest sites associated with this culture, which practices agriculture in the form of cultivating millet and animal husbandry in the form of raising pigs.

Archaeologists think that the Peiligang culture, one of the first in China to make pottery, was egalitarian, with little political organization.
