Six tombs from Han and Tang Dynasties were newly discovered in Dutou Ancient City Ruins of Linwu County, Chenzhou City, and a number of typical implements of the time were unearthed, which provide new archaeological data for understanding of the relationship between the tombs complex around the site and the ancient city, according to latest news from Hunan Archaeology on December 6.
Hunan Archaeological Research Institute organized an archaeological team to carry out the excavation this year, after receiving approval from the National Cultural Heritage Administration. Among the six tombs in Sanxingganyue and Zhoujiaping, there are 4 tombs in Han Dynasty, 1 tomb in Jin Dynasty and 1 tomb in Tang Dynasty.
The tombs excavated this time are civilian’s tombs for its smaller burial scale and lower grade.
The burial objects and human bones in the tombs all decayed. But owners of the two tombs should be female, considering the unearthed pottery spinning wheel, silver rings and bracelets, earrings and other ornaments.
