The remains revealed include the platform-foundation of the pavilion with the traces of mural columns, as well as passages, aprons, steps to the pavilion, patios, countyards, and the vestiges of auxiliary buildings. Among the unearthed terra-cotta objects are bricks, tiles, tile-ends, lamps, and spindle whorls, many bricks and tile-ends bearing designs and inscriptions respectively. Besides, there are iron articles and copper coins. The buildings in Area B and the high earth-rammed terrace to the north formed a complete palace complex together with the previously-excavated buildings in Area A, and constituted an important part of the Western Han imperial palace.展开更多

It consists of two large-sized house-foundations arranged from north to south, seven small house-foundations between them, and six ruined walls. The unearthed terra-cotta and pottery objects include bricks, tiles, tile-ends, supports, spindle whorls, jars and lamps. In addition, there are irons, stone tools and copper coins. The houses seem to have not been suitable to human living and activities and must have been a complex of storage rooms built in the Guigong Palace in the mid and late Western Han period, the discovery of which provides important material for studying the structure and layout of the Guigong Palace.展开更多
