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
