  There are still a lot of objects unearthed in the tomb of Longshan. The several tombs that have been cleaned have unearthed a total of this pottery, including pottery cups, pots, pots, pottery, pottery, and then stone cubes, and then some Stone tools. These artifacts are exquisitely made and the craftsmanship is very complicated. They provide hard-to-get physical information for the study of the Longshan culture and related cultural exchanges in the entire Lubei area.

  [Commentary] The reporter noticed that there was a polished black pottery thin fetal cup in the unearthed cultural relics. The cup wall was only about one millimeter thick, comparable to an egg shell. Liu Wentao said that these utensils are not practical utensils for life, and may be specialized funerary utensils. They have a certain relationship with the wealth power of the tomb owner during his lifetime. They also reflect the peak pottery skills of the Neolithic era, and they cannot even be copied manually in the contemporary era.

  The area of ​​the cemetery at the south site of Xujia Village is about 10,000 square meters (square kilometers). The Xiaoqinghe Renaissance Project occupies about 3,000 square meters. A total of 17 tombs were cleaned, and three ash pits during the Longshan period were cleaned, with a total cleaned area of ​​nearly 2,000 square meters.

  [Explanation] At the archaeological site, the brick burial tombs of the Tang Dynasty with three rows arranged east-west and the cemetery clearly planned are also being cleaned up simultaneously. The burial shape of the cemetery has distinctive features, and for the first time excavated the tomb shape of the "fan-shaped" and "horse-shoe-shaped" tombs in Shandong.
