In Suizhou in Hubei Province, some new archaeological discoveries have been made in a series of tombs from the Western Zhou Dynasty in Yejiashan. After two years of excavations, most of the tombs have been explored and the focus is now falling on two of the biggest tombs.
The two tombs are arranged in parallel positions and have similar structures with a passage connecting them. According to experts, this could signify that this is a combined burial of a couple.
The tomb with more decorative funereal objects, including porcelain and jade, is likely to be the woman’s, while the bronze ware and spears could be the husband’s. However, what’s intriguing archaeologists is the position of the bodies within the tombs, which would imply they were both male nobles.
