在距三星堆60公里的金沙村，考古学家又发现了一个距今大约3000多年前的遗址。金沙遗址的考古年代比三星堆晚大约500年左右。

In Jinsha Village , 60 kilometers away from the Sanxingdui site, archeologists found another historical site which was about 3,000 years old. The Jinsha relics were dated about 500 years later than Sanxingdui in archeology.

　　金沙遗址出土了各种金器、玉器、青铜器、象牙、鹿角、陶器，还有许多大大小小的石壁。金器里有一个只有3.74厘米高的神秘面具，一些蛙形的金箔，以及一个不知道是什么用途的喇叭形器。

Among the Jinsha relics, there are artifacts made from gold, jade, bronze, ivory, horns, pottery and stone works of different sizes. There is one mysterious gold mask, only 3.74 centimeters long, some gold sheets in the shape of frog and an object shaped like a trumpet, whose use is unknown.

　　这是金沙出土的一个金箔。

Here is a piece of beaten gold excavated in Jinsha.

　　金沙还出土了一条金带，这条金带和三星堆出土的金杖上面的部分纹饰居然一模一样，都是由人、鸟、鱼和箭组成的图案。

This is a gold belt. Part of its decorations resembles closely the patterns carved in the gold crutch excavated in Sanxingdui, which are pictures of humans, birds, fish and arrows.

　　在金沙遗址还发现了10件玉琮，有的跟距今5000年左右的良渚文化玉琮非常相似，很有可能就是来源于长江下游的良渚地区。按当时的交通条件，它们是怎么从长江下游来到长江上游的呢？至今仍是一个谜。

Ten jade badges were also found in the Jinsha site, some of which look very similar to those from the Liangzhu culture (dated to 3310 — 2250 B.C., a late Neolithic or Chalcolithic culture located in southeast China), and probably came from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. But with the poor transportation at that time, how could those objects find their way from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the upper? It is still a mystery.
