Archaeologists unearthed 460 artifacts while excavating 38 tombs belonging to a family that lived during the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911). All of the tombs were discovered in a construction site in Shuijia Village in Shenyang City's Hunnan District. The discovery of these graves is highly valuable to the study of family continuity and burial customs, as well as site selection and layout of family cemeteries around the city.
