The Jinggouzi culture was a culture of Inner Mongolia and Greater Chifeng area, from 1300 BCE to 1000 BCE.[1] It succeeded the Upper Xiajiadian culture, and preceded the establishment of the Yan territory by the Han dynasty.[1][2]
Ancient samples of the Jinggouzi site situated to the northwest of the Liao civilization were assigned to Haplogroup C-M217. Northern nomads from Jinggouzi might have entered the West Liao River valley, but these Jinggouzi people (closely related to Xianbei and Oroqen)[3] were culturally and genetically distinct from the original people of the West Liao River valley, who carried the characteristic Haplogroup N-M231 lineage. The Jinggouzi people may have been associated with the Donghu.[3]
