The Tushan Han tombs,located on the northern foothills of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou,Jiangsu,include three tombs.Tomb No.2 is the main tomb,discovered in 1977 and excavated until 2021.Carved into the ridge,this tomb's mixed construction employed brick,stone,and wood materials,consisting of an earth mound,sealing stones,a tomb passageway,east and west side chambers,a corridor,front and rear chambers,a patrol path,and huangchang-style stone walls.A large number of artifacts were unearthed from the tomb and its mound,including objects made of pottery,bronze,iron,lead,gold,jade,stone,bone,antler,coral,and mica,as well as numerous clay seals.The tomb dates to the early to mid-Eastern Han period,and the occupant was likely a vassal king of Pengcheng(modern-day Xuzhou),most likely King Liu Ying of Chu.Excavation of this tomb provides important data for studying the construction techniques and burial customs of vassal kings'tombs during the Eastern Han period.
