Based on AMS-4C dating, this paper focuses on an analysis of the granularity and magnetic susceptibility of 35 samples from the Tingchigang Site in Funing County, northern Jiangsu Province. It is inferred that the sediments were deposited in a quiet lacustrine or swamp environment. Sediments overlying the fifth layer at the site were probably deposited during Yellow River flooding. Compared with underlying layers, these sediments have a higher magnetic susceptibility value, a high content of coarse particles, and similarly poor sorting. Their grain size distribution is characterized by a positive or very positive skewness, and a medium, narrow, and very narrow kurtosis, consistent with sediments associated with the southern flow period of the Yellow River in 1128 A.D. It is not until the Qing Dynasty around 1855 A.D. when the Yellow River took the modern path. The authors suggest that the archaeological sites near the Funing area were buried during such Yellow River floods.
