Ceramic vessels were included with the body in most of the graves. The most elaborate burial was a child, who was placed in a wooden tomb that included a green jade pendant, a string of 63 bone disk beads, four ceramic vessels, and three stone pellets. The platform was ringed by a low wall that originally may have been the foundation for a wall of posts. This structure was plastered with a white limy substance that had been hardened by baking. The structure also had a hard earthen floor that appears to have been destroyed in a fire.
Chinese archaeologists interpret the building as a communal assembly hall or clan house.
