Editing Oracle bone (section)

Four inscribed bones have been found at Zhengzhou: three with numbers 310, 311, and 312 in the ''Hebu'' corpus, and one that has a single character ({{zhi|c=ㄓ}}), which also appears in late Shang inscriptions.  HB 310, which contained two brief divinations, has been lost, but is recorded in a rubbing and two photographs.  HB 311 and 312 each contain a pair of characters that are similar to the late Shang script.  HB 312 was found in an upper layer of the Erligang culture.  The others were found accidentally in river management earthworks, and so lack archaeological context.  Pei Mingxiang argued that they predated the Anyang site.  Takashima, referring to character forms and syntax, argues that they were contemporaneous with the reign of Wu Ding.{{sfn|Takashima|2012|pp=143–160}}{{sfn|Qiu|2000|pp=41–42}}

A turtle plastron bearing several short inscriptions was found at [[Daxinzhuang]] in Shandong on the floor of a semi-subterranean house dating from the Late Shang period. The style of characters is close to that used by particular diviner groups active at Anyang during the reign of Wu Ding, though it shows some variations.{{sfn|Takashima|2012|pp=160–171}}

Nearly 300 inscribed oracle bones (HB 1–290) were found in 1977 in two pits dug into a building foundation at Qijia, [[Fufeng County]], [[Shaanxi]], part of the Zhou ritual centre known as the Zhōuyuán.
Some of these are believed to be contemporaneous with the reign of [[Di Xin]], the last Shang king, and others to date from the early Western Zhou.{{sfn|Li|2013|p=118}}{{sfn|Takashima|2012|p=141}}
The inscriptions are distinguished from those of Anyang in the way the bones and shells were prepared and used, the smallness of the characters, the presence of unique vocabulary, and the use of the phases of the moon as a dating device.{{sfn|Shaughnessy|1985–1987|p=155}}
Four pieces (HB 1, 12, 13 and 15) have been particularly puzzling, because they refer to sacrifices in the temples of Shang ancestors, and also differ from the other bones in calligraphy and syntax.
Scholars disagree on whether they were produced at Anyang or the Zhouyuan, and whether the diviners and scribes were Shang or Zhou.{{sfn|Li|1985–1987|pp=173–174}}{{sfn|Takashima|2015|pp=158–165}}

In 2003, around 600 inscribed bones were found at Zhougongmiao, a temple dedicated to the [[Duke of Zhou]] during the [[Tang dynasty]], about {{cvt|18|km}} west of Qijia.
They mention the Duke of Zhou and other figures of the early Western Zhou.{{sfn|Li|2013|p=118}}
A handful of oracle bones have been found at other Western Zhou sites, including some from Beijing.{{sfn|Shaughnessy|1985–1987|p=147}}
