The rescue excavation to the Cemetery of Lü Family of the Northern Song Dynasty recovered a family graveyard consisting of the tomb group, border ditches and family ancestor temple. All of the tombs were earthen cave tombs arranged in clear north-south lines and east-west rows. The border ditches were found on the east, north and west sides of the tomb group forming a "Π"-shaped plan. The family ancestor temple was on the extension of symmetric axis of the tomb group and 500m to its south. It was a brick-and-wood architectural complex with three courtyards arranged along the longitudinal symmetric axis. From these tombs, 655 pieces (or sets) of grave goods, most of which were practical utensils made of pottery, porcelain, stone, bronze, iron, tin, silver, gold, lacquer and bone, were unearthed. The cemetery of Lü Family was the most completely preserved family cemetery of the Northern Song Dynasty found to date.
