Nuomuhong Culture

A Bronze Age culture in the south and east of the Qaidam Basin (Qinghai Province, China), dated c. 1350-950 BC and named for the site discovered near Nuomuhong, Dulan County, in 1959.

Fades from the archaeological record after c. 950 BC as the Qaidam Basin material culture shifts.
