Of them M6 yielded no funeral objects. M3 and M4 are rectangularshafts and contain mainly pottery with ding tripods, fu cauldrons and dou stemmed vessels as typicalcontainers in common combinations, and also bronzes and irons in a small number. They are of the lateWarring States period. M2 and M5 are single-chambered rectangular brick tombs, and yielded largelypottery and also a small number of bronzes and irons. The pottery of M2 often occurs in the jar, fu, pot,basin and granary model combination, along with objects made exclusively for funeral use and a few “wuzhu” coins, and the tomb can be dated to the middle Eastern Han period as a synthetic analysis of thefinds shows. M5 yielded a certain proportion of terra-cotta tomb figures and animal, granary, stove, welland table models, which shows a date of late Eastern Han. M1 is a single-chambered square brick tombwith the funeral objects consisting of pottery vessels and terra-cotta tomb figures characteristic of theNorthern Song period, so it can be assigned to the late Northern Song.展开更多
