"As the special white colour of those little items of jade ware tells us, the tomb is at least 4,000 years old, known as the late period of the Liang Zhu Culture," said Jiang Weidong, chief director of the excavation site and a researcher at the Zhejiang Provincial Relics and Archaeological Institute.
"This newly unearthed tomb has added many more real objects to our study of the later period of Liang Zhu Culture, and has helped us gain an even greater insight into the highly civilized society which used to exist here several thousands years ago," said Wang Mingda, director of the State Archaeological Institute.
The tomb was found to be 3.77 metres long and 1.8 metres wide.
He said the tomb is part of a large group grave, which are all located in Xin Dili, Tongxiang, one of the most important locations of the Liang Zhu Culture on the southern side of the Taihu Lake.
