Tomb No. 2 excavated there in 1995 is a wooden-chambered earth shaft shaped like the character “甲” with the tomb-passage pointing to the west. The rectangular tomb-plt contains a double-walled beam chamber, which is partitioned into a front and a rear rooms, The peculiar structure of the chamber and coffin reflects the new burial institution for the dead of marquis rank in the Han period. Tomb 2 was robbed many times, still a lot of valuable cultural relics were found through this excavation, including bronze, lacquer, pottery, jade, gold and semi-transparent vitreous wares, Some lacquered wooden objects bear dated long inscriptions, providing important evidence for studying Han period handicrafts. Judging from the unearthed objects as well as the fact that the tomb pit is parallel to that of Quanling Marquis Liu Qing, which was excavated previously,shares the same shape with the latter, and is constructed under the barrow which is linked with that of the latter, the tomb-owner must have been Liu Qing's wife, who died at the end of the Western Han.展开更多

This is a rectangular earthen pit containing a wooden chamber and a coffin with an extended supine burial. Among the funeral objects, the pottery falls into the ding tripod, dou stemmed vessel, jar and dish; the earthen ware, into the animal-shaped three-legged yi ewer, basin, etc. The bronzes are obelisk-shaped objects,and the jades include discs and broken pieces. Besides, there occur some cowries. Judged by the features of its structure and grave goods, the tomb must belong to the Luoyang area group distinguished by its researchers and can be dated to the Eastern Zhou period.展开更多
