The sun bird in gold foil unearthed at the Jinsha Ruins is the symbol of China cultural heritage.

In 2007, the museum built on the site of the Jinsha Ruins opened to the public, housing relics unearthed there.

The deer bones came from deer killed for sacrificial ceremonies that were important in ancient Sichuan, said Zhu Zhangyi, an archaeologist in Chengdu.
