It was excavated in October 1993-January 1994, which resulted in the revelation of 13 house-foundations, 10 tombs, 15 ash-pits, one ash-trench and two piles of pebbles, all belonging to the early phase of the site. The pottery consists mainly of sandy and clay grey wares fired at a rather low temperature and is largely decorated with chequer, meander, basket impression, double-lined rectangular and rhombic patterns. The vessel types include the fish-basket-shaped, carinate-bellied, round-bellied and carinate-shouldered jars, basin, zun vase, dou stemmed vessel, urn, vat, bo bowl, yu container and pot. These remains go back roughly to the late Shang and early Zhoup eriod, corresponding to the third phase of the Wucheng site in Qingjiang, Jiangxi, and the middle layers of the Shixia site in Qujiang, Guangdong.展开更多

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
