内蒙古丰镇市十一窑子战国墓

Shiyiyaozi Cemetery of the Warring States Period in Feng- zhen City, Inner Mongolia

This cemetery lies in Fengzhen City of Inner Mongolia, north of Shiyiyaozi Village of Heigedawa Township and east of the Yinma River. The eight tombs excavated are all rectangular earth pits, small in size and varying in direction. They are with or without coffins, and contain burials mostly in an extended supine position. A few human skeletons were found with bronze arrowheads inserted in them, and sheep bones were discovered as the remains of animal victims. The funeral objects are relatively small in number, with the pottery vessels belonging to the jar, pot, bowl, etc., all grey clay ware fired at a rather high temperature, and the bronzes including belt hooks, arrowheads and rings. These show quite typical features of the Central Plains culture. The tombs can be assigned to the Warring States period according to their shape and the characteristics of their objects.
