The excavations at the Chienshan prehistoric site at Tayuan, which is the only formal archaeological dig on the Taoyuan plateau, have so far unearthed large numbers of stone axe heads and hammers, hunting implements, spinning wheels, whetstones, pottery and clayware. Exposed again to the light of day, these items from a lost world offer a veiled glimpse into life on the sandy hillocks of Chienshan some 3,000 years ago.
當桃園台地境內迄今唯一經過正式挖掘的遺址出土，大量石器、石斧、石鑄、石硾、狩獵用具、紡輪、礪石、陶器、土器殘片等遠古工具一一展現在鄉民面前時，曾經失落的時間有了再現機會，隱隱間，彷彿再看見 3,000 年前居住在尖山沙丘上人們生活的樣貌。
