| Abstract: |
Tomb No. 60 at Locus East of Huayuanzhuang within the Yin Ruins is a double-person joint burial with bronze and pottery objects. It is a seldom encountered phenomenon that almost all the bronze and pottery articles are broken and laid beneath the coffin. Their typological features suggest that the tomb dates from Phase 1 of the Yin Ruins culture. The excavation of the tomb provided new evidence for studying the burial custom in the Yin Ruins period, as well as significant data for further researching into the periodization of the Yin Ruins culture and the relationship between the Phase 1 of Yin Ruins and the periodization of the cultural remains from the Shang city-site north of the Huanshui River.
