The study of cemetery organization involves a comprehensive analysis of the cemetery's spatial,temporal,and cultural characteristics,playing a crucial role in burial research.This paper focuses on the southern area of Wangyukou in Yinxu and utilizes excavated materials to provide an in-depth examination of cemetery zoning.The zoning is primarily based on burial orientation,burial combinations,spatial distribution,and changes over time.By considering these factors,the cemetery can be divided into five districts and nine groups.The usage of the cemetery can be traced back to the initial phase of Yinxu,experienced early development in the second phase,reached its pinnacle during the third phase,and gradually declined in the fourth phase.The majority of tomb owners were commoners,although there were also a few small to medium-sized nobles.Additionally,one of the cemetery zones may have served as a family burial ground for the diviners.
