The grand ceremony of the No.1 Hang Dynasty mausoleum excavation was held yesterday at Shuangdun in Luban City of Anhui Province. After 9 months hard work, archaeologists will display their achievements to the public. Experts have made certain the owner of the mausoleum is the Luban King I of Liu Qing. It is the largest-scale one in Anhui Province in recent years.

The excavation brings us the vivid picture of the social, economic and cultural development of that period; especially a lot of pottery and bronzes from the mausoleum can make great contributions to the archaeological research.
