In 2003 to 2004, the Anyang Archaeological Team, IA, CASS carried out excavation at Locus West of Xiaotun and revealed there a large-sized tomb with two passage, of which the southern passage extends first eastward and then turns to the south. This is a rectangular earthen pit furnished with mature second-tier platforms along the pit walls, a waist pit on the bottom, and level platforms on the southern and northern sides of the chamber. It contains a double coffin and eight human and six animal victims. Among the grave goods are pottery, bronzes, lacquer-ware, jades, stone implements, and bone, tooth and shell artifacts. In the light of the unearthed stratigraphie evidence and objects, it can be assigned to the later fourth phase of the Yin Ruins, and the tomb-owner must have been a high-rank nobleman. Its excavation provided important data for further inquiring into the layout of the palace and ancestral temple quarter at Xiaotun and its vicinity, and at the same time put forward a number of new problems.
