They are arranged in order and each consists of a surface mound, an oval underground shaft, and an object pit in some cases. Most of the skeletons are buried singly, and collective burials occur occasionally. The principal burial manner is the extended supine position, and secondary burials are seen sometimes. Among the grave goods plain pottery comes first in amount, and painted ware next. In type there are the single-eared jar, bo bowl, basin, pot, etc. The painted motifs include serrated, peculiar triangular, whor-like and net patterns. The unearthed bronzes are mainly arrowheads; some tombs yielded irons. Sheep's tail-bones were discovered in most graves. According to ^14C dates and comparison with tombs of adjacent areas, this cemetery can be assigned to the time corresponding to the Warring States period.展开更多
