In 2009, Liaoning Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology excavated 62 burials, 30 ash pits and four ash ditches in Daihai Site. Most of the burials were in rectangular plan with round corners, with few rectangular ones. Only two of them were double burials, which were both joint tombs of one male and one female, and all of the rest were single burials. The grave goods were potteries, bronzes, shell implements and cowry ornaments. Most of the grave goods were found in the offering pit or altar to the south of the graves, the popular assemblages were bowl and jar （or pot）, which were usually assembled together, and bowl, jar and li-cauldron. In addition, li-cauldron or small cup and bowl were also found below the toes or beside the tibia of the skeleton of the tomb occupant. The date of these burials was the early Bronze Age. The Daihai Cemetery was located on the north side of Yiwulii Moun- tains, which is the zone where the Lower Xiajiadian Culture and Gaotaishan Culture were overlapping, and the burials found here showed elements of both of these two archaeological cultures, so they are valuable materials for the researches and exploration on the relationships between these two cultures.
