The Majiayao culture was a group of Neolithic communities that lived mainly in the upper Yellow River region of eastern Gansu, Qinghai, and northern Sichuan. The culture existed between 3300 and 2000 B.C. The Majiayao culture is considered the first time the upper Yellow River region was extensively populated by agricultural communities and is famous for its painted pottery, which is seen as the pinnacle of ceramic manufacture of that era.
