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

On this basis the author comes to the following conclusions : Up to the present, more than 100 spots of Western Han, Eastern Han and Han Wei remains have been discovered on the western shore of the Bohai Bay; the previously-called chronological gap of ancient remains does not exist on the western shore of the Bohai Bay; the so-called“transgressions of the late Western Han period on the western shore of the Bohai Bay” must have been sea level changes which happened only in a few areas, in short periods and on a small scale of going up and down, and so should not taken as transgressions; and no transgressions happened in the late Western Ran.展开更多

These are stone burial pits each with several or dozen circular, semicircular or fan-like platforms structured of pebbles and connected with each other. They contain secondary burials after cremation. Human bones are largely broken. The funeral objects consist of pottery, jade and stone artifacts and bronzes. The excavation is of important value to studying the origin of the tomb shape prevailing among the Kaoguryo people.展开更多
