Guweicun

A late Eastern Zhou cemetery site in Hui-hsien, China. Three large shaft tombs has north and south entrance ramps and are similar in construction to far earlier Shang tombs. The largest of the three was marked at ground level by a low mound edged with large stones, a new feature modeled on works of the northern nomads. A number of cast-iron tools - plowshares, picks, hoes, shovels, axes, and chisels - were found in the tomb.

[Ku-wei-ts’un], A late Eastern Zhou cemetery site near Liulige in Hui Xian, Henan province, China. Three large shaft tombs were provided with entrance ramps on north and south, and are similar in construction to far earlier Shang tombs. The largest of the three, which had an overall length including the ramps of 190 metres, was, however, marked at ground level by a low mound edged with large stones, a new feature modelled on the usages of the northern nomads {see shaft tombs, China). Especially noteworthy is the discovery in this tomb of a number of cast-iron tools, including ploughshares, picks, hoes, shovels, axes and chisels.
