In April to May 1999, the Chengdu Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology excavated five brick-chambered tombs at Waihuacheng Neighborhood in the western suburb of Chengdu City. These graves were seriously damaged. They are rectangular with a “凸”-shaped passage, square, trapezoid, or rectangular with double pits for joint burial, and date from the early Tang, middle Tang, Northern Song or Southern Song period. The funeral objects fall into ceramics, pottery tomb-figurines, iron coins and title deeds of tomb plots. Among them are the distinctive figurines of the Green Dragon, Scarlet Bird, White Tiger and Somber Warrior from the Southern Song tomb. The excavation furnished important data to studying the periodization of Tang and Song tombs in the Chengdu area.
