This tomb is an earthen shaft pit tomb in rectangular plan with dug-out tiers along the two longer sides. The burial furniture and skeletons of the tomb occupant(s) had all decayed, only coffin board ashes and lacquer remains were seen. The grave goods in the coffin were jade sword ornaments, jade pigs, glass Bi-disc, bronze mirror, etc. In the west quarter at the grave bottom, a set of pottery wares and some bronzes were found; in the foot quarter to the south of the coffin, a set of lacquered or plain wooden utensils were recovered. The pottery assemblage was Ding-tripod, jar, Fang-square wine vessel, case, and so on, bearing clear features of Chu Culture of the late Warring-States Period. The excavation of this tomb provided new materials for the researches on the history and culture in the middle reaches of Huai River.展开更多

Judged by their traces, some tombs are furnished with double coffins. Grave goods were discovered roughly in all pits, usually two or three pieces for each tomb. Altogether 18 objects were unearthed from the two cemeteries, including pottery, jade and stone artifacts, with the pottery vessels coming first in number and falling into the li tripod, yu container, jar and some other types. These tombs must have belonged to the Chu State of the mid Warring States period, and their data provide important material evidence for studying the history of the Chu State expanding its power westwards in those times.展开更多
