What if artificial intelligence could rebuild a world lost for over 3,000 years? ***The Daxinzhuang Pottery Puzzle AI Challenge*** invites you to help reassemble nearly 20,000 fragmented pottery sherds from Pit H690—a Shang Dynasty storage pit and refuse deposit at Daxinzhuang, one of early China's most important sites. These fragments hold vital clues to ancient power, ritual, and cultural exchange. Yet manually reconstructing them is slow, incomplete, and imprecise. This is where AI changes the game. We call on data scientists, AI innovators, archaeologists, and heritage enthusiasts to create models that can identify and match these fragments with unprecedented accuracy. This is more than a technical exercise—it is an opportunity to shape the future of computational archaeology, enrich historical understanding, and amplify voices from the distant past. Let your algorithm become an instrument of discovery. Join us in transforming fragments into knowledge—and code into cultural legacy.


***“大辛庄陶片拼合AI挑战赛”***是一项结合人工智能与考古学的国际竞赛，旨在借助深度学习技术拼合中国东部商代遗址大辛庄出土的近20,000片陶器碎片。这些碎片来自H690号储藏坑，记录着商代与东夷文化互动的珍贵信息。传统拼合方式效率低，难以应对如此庞大的数据量。我们邀请全球AI专家、数据科学家、考古学者与文化遗产爱好者，共同开发自动识别与匹配陶片的新方法。这不仅是一次前沿科技与人文研究的深度对话，更是推动“计算考古学”发展的契机。在这里，你的每一行代码，都是对过去的注解；每一个算法，都是文明的再造。让我们用AI的力量，还原三千年前的世界。
