The mounds are made oval or round in plan, arranged in lines along the hill ridges, and raised distinctly on the surface.They contain burials in stone chambers or those without such furniture; the latter can further be divided into several classes, such as the stone-framed, stone-bedded and on-the-ground types. No human skeleton and coffin were found in the tombs. The funeral objects include proto-porcelain, hard pottory with impressed pattern and a small amount of plain hard pottery and clay one. In date the tombs can be roughly assigned to the time from the early Western Zhou to the late Spring-and-Autumn period. With the variety of burial forms, the importance of some remains and the exquisiteness of numerous grave goods, the discovery provides valuable material for studying in depth the regionalization, periodization and burial custom of mounded tombs, as well as the evolution of proto-porcelain.展开更多

The stratigraphic deposits and their contents show the site to consist of three phases of remains. The first phase corresponds to the Longshan period in Jiangxi and features distinctly the dish-shaped ding, the conic ding-leg with pierced oval mark pattern and the flat ding-leg. The phase Ⅱ goes back to the time from the Xia to early Shang period; the unearthed dish-shaped ding, ring-foot gu cup and other objects reflect that it was influenced by the Central Plains culture but still maintained a lot of cultural elements of its own. The third phase dates from the Western Zhou period; the popularity of the yan steamer shape object, the stamped geometrical pattern and glazed pottery fired at a high temperature suggests that this phase shared roughly the same cultural aspect with the contemporary sites and tombs around Jinshanxia.展开更多
