From 2000 to 2006， Chengdu Municipal Institute of

excavations at the Yingpanshan Site， covering an area of nearly 2500 square
meters. Over 200 stone-coffin tombs and pits with artifacts were
excavated.
In neat rows， the stone-coffin tombs were dug in the same layer
and did not overlapped or disturbed each other. According to the orientation，
all the tombs can be roughly divided into two groups. The first group was mainly
distributed at the first and forth location， most of which has a direction angel
of over150o. The second group was chiefly found at the second and third
location， most of which has a direction angle less than 150o.
The structure
of tombs is relatively uniform， consisting of the stone walls and cover but no
bottom board. In some tombs， a stone slab was erected at the head end to form a
head nest for placing funerary goods.
According to the number of head nest，
the tombs are divided into three types. Tombs of Type I have no head nest and
can be classified into three classes: Class A with a broad space but less in
number， Class B with a small space and distribution in group， and Class C with
relatively abundant funerary objects in separated goods pits. Tombs of Type II
have one head nest， rich in number but with not many funerary objects. Built
with processed stone slabs， Tombs of Typelll have double head nests， a broad
tomb space and ample burial goods. The corpses of the tomb occupants were laid
in three kinds of way， many of which were arranged in a supine position， with
straight limbs and relatively intact skeletons. In the secondary burials，
incomplete skeletons were dispersedly placed. Some bodies were put face-down and
others might have been dismembered before the burial.
Compared with other
cemeteries in the upper reaches of Min River， the Yingpanshan cemetery owns some
special burial customs， such as leaving numerous potteries at the head or foot
ends of the stone coffin， or digging an artifact pit near the tomb. Many small
white stones or huge rocks found in the tomb chamber were deemed to be used for
worship or some funerary purpose.
