The Yuandingshan Mount 圆顶山, located 13 km to the east of the seat of the Lixian 礼县 County, and to the southwest of the Zhaoping 赵坪 Village of Yongxing 永兴 Township, embraces a cemetery on its northern slope, which faces the southern bank of the Yangshui 漾水 River. The cemetery was looted in the beginning of 1998, and was then excavated by a collaborative team from the Gansu Provincial Institute of Antiquity and Archaeology and the Lixian County Museum during the following months of February through June. Three human burials (98LDKM 1-M3) and one chariot burial (98LDK1) were thus exposed; the material is presented below.
