This cemetery is located at Duimianshan of Dagongping village, Henan township in the southern suburbs of Lechang city. It was excavated in 1987, which resulted in the revelation of 207 tombs, including 191 of the Eastern Zhou, Qin and Han periods. Among the abundant objects unearthed are the bronze ding tripod, sword, dagger, spear, ge dagger-axe, mirror and coin, iron spade, sword, long knife and axe, pottery urn, fou pot, bu vase, fu cauldron, ding, yan steamer, incense burner, jar, gui food container, box and pot, and terra-cotta molds of the stove, granary and house. According to the features in tomb form and the combination of pottery, the 191 tombs can be divided into three phases with six stages. The first phase corresponds to the Warring States period, the second to the Qin-- late Western Han, and the third to the Eastern Han. The excavation of the tombs provides extremely important material for studying the historical and cultural aspects of the region south of the Five Ridges around the unification by the Qin dynasty, and sets up a scale for research into the evolutionary track of the archaeological culture in these periods.
