I'd never heard of Banpo before, but it is the first major archaeological site excavated by Communist China.
This short video provides a nice guide to the ancient village, which was inhabited from about 4500 BCE to about 3700 BCE.

I question the interpretations that archaeologists often project onto grave goods and pottery. For example, this video discusses the interpretation that the society was matriarchal because the women were buried with more grave goods. But that's a very flimsy basis for such a conclusion, in my opinion.
