Evidence of silk found in Bronze Age sacrificial pits (phys.org)

The complete analysis revealed that fabrics found in the Sanxingdui pits included silk and that silk residues were partially preserved due to mineralization processes facilitated by copper ions released from bronze artifacts.

Silk traces were found wrapped around jade artifacts and covering the bronze grid-like ware, suggesting their use in ritual contexts. The uneven mineralization of the fibers and the presence of ash-layer silk residues indicated that not all silk was fully incinerated during these rituals.
