Tomb no.M29 at Lexue Road in Zaoyuan Village is a brick-chamber tomb with a long sloping passage and a brick-built guo coffin chamber.Although the burial goods were severely looted,four hard-glazed pottery jars,gilded bronze objects,and bronze fittings from a chariot and horse harness were still found in the tomb chamber.The tomb dates from the late Western Han to the Xin Dynasty period and is significantly larger than other contemporary medium and small-sized tombs.The presence of hard-glazed pottery jars,commonly found in large tombs from the mid-to-late Western Han period in the Xi'an area,indicates that the tomb owner enjoyed a high social status during their lifetime.The discovery of tomb no.M29 provides new material evidence for exploring the burial practices of high-status tombs around the Han capital city of Chang'an.
