"They are quite similar to the stone coffins of the ancient Qiang people, a nomadic tribe used to live in the current northwestern part of China more than 3,000 years ago, which werealso found the valleys of the Yalong River, Minjiang River and Jinsha River in Sichuan," said Chen.

I will have to keep an eye out for the other items found with the coffins. At first I was thinking about the Plain of Jars -- They are the darnedest things I ever saw. Quite skillfully made but very "jar" like(there is a disappointing article in Archeology this month). The more they look, the more complex things get.
