On the 16th, it was learned from the Guangzhou Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology that cultural relics from the Han to Ming and Qing dynasties were discovered during archaeological exploration on a project site in Guangzhou. Currently, about 90 relics have been cleared, including 71 tombs. It is reported that the project is located within the underground cultural relic burial area of "Honghuagang Zhusigang Meihua Village". According to the laws and regulations on cultural relics protection and in cooperation with project construction, the Guangzhou Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted archaeological exploration on the project site in February, March, and October 2023, and discovered cultural relics from the Han to Ming and Qing dynasties. After reporting to the National Cutural Heritage Administration for approval, the Institute will officially start archaeological excavation (Phase I) in November 2023. The planned excavation area for this period is 825 square meters. Currently, about 90 relics from various periods such as the Han to Ming and Qing dynasties have been cleared, including 71 tombs (20 tombs from the Jin and Southern Dynasties, 14 tombs from the Tang and Song dynasties, and 37 tombs from the Ming and Qing dynasties), 9 ash pits, 3 wells, 7 drainage ditches, and about 108 cultural relics of various textures such as chicken head pots, blue glazed bowls, three legged inkstones, four series jars, and talcum pigs have been unearthed. The current archaeological work is still ongoing. Since 1953, archaeologists have carried out multiple archaeological works in conjunction with construction projects within the underground cultural relic burial area, cleaning up ancient tombs, wells, ash pits, ash ditches and other relics from different periods, and unearthed a large number of cultural relics. Archaeologists explained that this archaeological excavation once again indicates that this area is an important burial site for ancient ancestors in Guangzhou, providing important physical data for studying the burial customs of ancient Guangzhou and the changes in Guangzhou's historical and geographical environment.
