2300 BC is well before the dating of the Shang Dynasty. What is the name of the (legendary?) dynasty that supposedly preceded the Shang?
In any case, I don't think China extended as far as southwest Szechuan province until thousands of years later.

And with revelations that mummified bodies have been found in China with Blonde hair and blue eyes, wouldn't it be interesting if the same were found in this ancient city !?!?!??!?!?
