Through the efforts over 1 month, have already made the rich and important achievement.

    Over one month, the small bay in a river ruins explore area exceed 1,500 square meters already( original agreement stipulate as 1,000 square meters). Visit square culture layer can divide 10 into at most , can be divided into 4 layers at least. Era can reach on the the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is successively for Han dynasty, six in the following towards, Sui the Tangs, Zh Zh, Ming and Qing dynasty. Explore degree of depth up to 2.10 is most shallow to up to 0.60 meters deeply most.

    The small bay in a river ruins in the archaeological studies investigation, judge it for the remains of Han dynasty. But through exploring this time, find the takenning the place of in one's early years and be pushed to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty the most of this ruins, This have times to insert sand red pottery Zhyuan foot, insert thick thick rope line and net line red gallipot,etc. relic but card of sand the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not merely, Also explored and cleared up culture story of the times and contemporary gray hole in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

    Six room location towards the times is another achievement in this archaeological studies explore . Clear up and appear 7 and several contain stone post hole of stone base of column, belong to wooden bone mud wall building altogether. Although not mostly complete, have found some archaeological studies phenomena with cultural characteristics . If 99CWWF1 room location inhabit surface process right away very rare: Namely outer fringe most in way, have one row round rammer nest , should belong to the flat rammer , But afterwards to inhabit surface use oblique rammer, Last pieces of rammer nest pigeonhole go half later rammer nest , form neat form rammer nest of fish scale very, Very characteristic; In indoor corner, because rammer play inconvenient perhaps, so oblique to seem to rammer nest a bit in a mess. 99CWWF5 whether one keep intact one row three type room location for another example: China have two north and south separate three to partition wall one house, first of centre minimum, There is way southwards, it should be the entrance hall ; After entering the entrance hall, the things each have open eastwards, west room two of gates . Leave only sections of cob wall of although 99CWWF7 and stone post hole of the stones base of column will be included to each,find room pieces of getting more intact one with braising by soil rectangle kitchen pool where the stub walls enclose as in soy sauce, Have charcoal bits and braise in soy sauce soil fragment is relatively rare even inside.

    The most important discovery is to explore and clear up the soil hole tombs of the times for two periods of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Han dynasty grave that Sanxia area find in the past is mostly brick room tomb and precipice tomb, The hole tomb of soil is rare . The small bay in a river two soil hole tomb of ruins, tomb carry collapsed already, the coffin chamber is with considerable scale, The tomb wall is high-visible. People skeleton of tomb keep basically intact one, this archaeological studies more rare too of exploring in Han dynasty, Have offered the valuable material object materials for anthropolgical research of the physique. People bone of tomb excavate phenomenon , give somebody mysterious complicated and confusing reverie very even more one. Should say people skeleton of tomb afford to keep one, The a piece of bone departments all lack. And then here from the south of 0.65 meters of skulls, explored out a pair of arm bones( other skeletons have already totally been corroded ). Pass and observe carefully, graveyard layer have and sink phenomenon, skull and like this abnormal position of arm bone one, It should be that the stratum misplace and causes yet. After clearing up and explore further, find that it is a big pottery basin under the skulls of people, That is to say that this number of people is put within a pottery basin. In view of the above, can infer , this number of people was conduct first grade for use in ones that offered sacrifices to.

    Still unearthed three iron sword of corrosion around size 2 skeleton, people of tomb,( knife), one copper seal, Whether one piece stone ornament,pieces of copper ring and how much stone( bone? )Pearl . It is estimated that the tomb owner may be a military head .

    The small bay in a river two the the Eastern Han Dynasty hole room of ruins tomb still unearthed a large number of pottery. According to the incomplete statistics, the intact, basically intact or replaceable pottery has already exceeded 40, Many pottery device type huge among them, and a lot of pottery decorated with getting red or the white color is painted , It is very bright-colored and beautiful that the especially red color is painted . The devices are quite abundant too, there are pot, cauldron, pot, pot, basin, earnestly, bowl, rice steame, urn, storehouse, light,etc.. Some potteries are still decorated with beast's shape of face knocker-holders. While excavate with the pottery , still find that is mixed with having a large number of animals skeleton, Cherish and corrode serious , distinguish species is but should for offer sacrifices to and use domestic animal.

    That excavated with pottery together is to become copper cash of bunch or the fragmentary ancient unit of weight, equal to 1/24 liang five of Chinese separately, Especially become ancient unit of weight, equal to 1/24 liang five of bunch money, still find around that there is mark of offering as a gift burnt. According to observe tentatively by five ancient unit of weight, equal to 1/24 liang money to Chinese, span of era its relatively heavy, the early ancient unit of weight, equal to 1/24 liang five while getting in the Western Han Dynasty early, By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty at night.

    Size 1 tomb unearthed copper wash one also; All kinds of iron cauldron each one, small iron cauldron put within the cauldron, big iron cauldron put in one having at the red pottery shelf that color paints on big iron among them.
    At present, two clearance of tomb of Han dynasty explore and work and continue being carried on yet.
