What is The Xiaohe Graveyard in Luobupo, Xinjiang about?
The Xiaohe graveyard is located in the desert about 4km east of a tributary in the lower reaches of the Kongque River in the Luobupo region. It is 102km east of the old city of Loulan. In 2002-2005, 167 burials were excavated by the Xinjiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology after spending nearly ten months of field work in the Xiaohe graveyard. The graveyard is shaped like an elliptical sand-dune over 7m high, 74m long, 35m wide. Inside the graveyard are two timber post fences, one in the middle and another at the southwest corner. The area between the two rows of timber posts will be referred to as the southern district. The area north and east of the central fence of timber posts will be referred to as the northern district. There are 139 burials in the southern district and 28 burials in the northern district. The burials can be subdivided into five levels from top to bottom. The 33 burials excavated in 2003 all belong to the first and second levels in the southern district (Figures 1 &2).
