In 1997, the Laohekou Municipal Museum carried out there rescuing excavation of eight tombs, which fall into two categories:earth-pit tombs and brick-chambered ones. The former are all rectangular shafts, with a slanting passage built in a tomb; the latter have chambers built of long narrow bricks in rectangular earth-pits.
