2002年9～12月,湖北省文物考古研究所等单位对湖北枣阳九连墩之"一号墩"进行了发掘,清理墓葬两座(M1、M2)及其祔葬车马坑(CHMK1、CHMK2)。各遗存单位保存基本完好,尤其是M2未被盗扰,出土了数量多、种类全、保存完好的大量随葬器物。资料表明,该墓为战国中期大型楚墓,墓主人是M1墓主的夫人,身份为楚国上大夫级别的高级贵族。该墓的发掘与整理为楚墓葬制研究提供了十分重要的实物资料。

During September to December 2002, Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relic and Archaeology did an excavation on M2 of Jiuliandun site Zaoyang, Hubei Province, in which two tombs(M1, M2) as well as two chariot pits(CHMK1, CHMK2) were excavated. The remains are well-preserved, among which Tomb No.2, without being looted, is especially intact, therefore a vast number of well-protected relics were found. These materials revealed that this tomb was a large-scale Chu tomb of middle Warring States Period. It is the tomb of the wife of the tomb M1 occupant, a high-ranking aristocrat of Shangdafu status. The excavation and classification of this tomb provide important resources to the research of funeral system of Chu tombs.
