The Xi Longgui Cemetery of the Han Dynasty was located on the broad hilly area on the east side of Taihang Mountains,which belongs to the Xi Longgui and Nan Longgui Villages of Luquan City,Hebei Province.In July 2009 through the end of January 2010,rescue excavation was conducted to the tombs of this cemetery on the way of the canal of the SouthNorth Water Transfer Project,which recovered 29 tombs and two pottery kilns of the Han Dynasty.All of the tombs had been disturbed in various extents;26 of them were brickchamber tombs,which could be classified into single-chamber,double-chamber and triplechamber tombs,all had ramp passages;three of them were rectangular vertical earthen pit tombs without passages.The remaining grave goods were mainly potteries,which were mostly models,animalfigurines and vessels for daily use,the types were ovens,wells,houses,animal pens,chicken and dog figurines,pots,fu-cauldrons,jugs,jars,basins,bowls,plates,plates with holes,cups,trays,nested cases,lian-cosmetic cases,round cases,ladles,lamps,flat tiles,cylindrical tiles,etc.The potteries were usually coated with white slips.The other grave goods included bronze mirrors,bronze coins,iron shovels,glass eardrops,grindstones,and lead horse ornaments,cap ornaments and quatrefoil fittings,etc.These tombs could be dated into three phases,which were the early and mid Eastern Han,late Eastern Han and the end of Eastern Han Dynasty;they could be zoned into three groups which might have represented three quarters of the cemetery belonging to different groups or clans of the people.The tomb occupants would be the richer ones of the local people and the occupants of the earthen pit tombs were infants or children.Two pottery kilns were found on the margin of the cemetery;their dates were the same as that of the tombs and their products were the bricks and tiles for building the tombs.In the strata of the workshop remains nearby the cemetery,large amounts of the architectural debris and a pottery kiln were found,because of which the workshop remains was suggested to be that for making brick and tile pastes for the cemetery which were baked in these kilns.The discovery of these pottery kilns provided new materials for solving the problem of the resources of the bricks and tiles for building the tombs in this cemetery.
