¡¡¡¡from 2000 to 2006£¬ chengdu municipal institute of cultural relics and archaeology and other organizations carried out five 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.
