Most pottery from the Shihsanhang culture is reddish-brown, and gravel is mixed in with the clay. Surfaces often show geometric patterns, the result of the use of geometrically incised sticks to compress the clay. The human-faced jar uncovered at the Shihsanhang site is the most well-preserved and artistically important piece yet uncovered in Taiwan. (Elaine Chen / tr.Phill Newell)
十三行文化多見紅褐色夾砂陶，外表常有拍印的幾何形紋飾，在十三行遺址挖掘出來的人面陶罐，可說是史前陶中器形最完整、藝術價值最高的一件。
