Introduction The Sanxingdui site (Sichuan, China) is the typical representative of ancient Shu culture, which lasts from late Neolithic to early Western Zhou. sacrificial pits are located in core region site, and numerous artifacts unearthed including ivory, seashells, bronzes, pottery, jade, stone, gold, bone, horn products. function buried has always been focus, but microbiome around attracts less attention. Recently, ivory soil just identified; however, other never studied. In term unique perspective for interpretation archaeological issues, study was carried out for: (1) microbial diversity community lower layer pits, (2) potential biodeterioration behavior organic inorganic relics, (3) impact burial activities different on microbiome. Methods There were 45 samples three 12 raw inside or outside pit sampling site. genomes then identified analyzed using next-generation high-throughput sequencing. Results represented bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, GAL15, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteriota, Methylomirabilota, Thermoplasmatota, Crenarchaeota, Gemmatimonadota, Firmicutes, fungal Ascomycota, Mortierellomycota, Basidiomycota. Further functional analysis found that genera Sphingopyxis , Limnobacter Streptomyces Cladosporium Acremonium Mortierella concerned with degradation matter, while Pseudomonas, Arthrobacter Variovorax Aspergillus Penicillium might be related biocorrosion bronzes. addition, composition principal co-ordinate (PCoA) demonstrated significant differences structure between also pits. Discussion It important understand according results community. combination microbiology archaeology will shed light issues human behaviors.
