Archaeologists found the site in Longhu town, Henan province in central China where some buildings were being constructed, reported People’s Daily.

The unearthed relics, including bronze ware, pottery, and shells, show that these tombs date back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 B.C.).

Judging from its intricate layout and orderly arrangement, this tomb site very likely belonged to a royal family, said Fan Wenquan, leader of the archaeology group.

These tombs are all shaft graves with a full set of funerary objects in each coffin.
