Despite their robbery, these graves yielded some pottery, bronze, jade, stone and bone articles, mainly bronzehorse-and-chariot fittings, jades and ornaments. M5 and M6 go back roughly to the later Spring-and-Autumn period, whereas M4 should be dated to the Western Zhou period, from the Yiwang to the Liwang reigns. They are close to each other in location and must have belonged to the common graveyard of an aristocratic family.展开更多
