In December 1996-January 1997, three Eastern Han tombs at Ma'anling in Guigang City were excavated by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Archaeological Team. Tomb M1 is a wooden-chambered rectangular earth shaft, M2 has a similar pit but no chamber, M3 is paved with bricks on the bottom, and each of them has a slanting tomb-passage. Among the funeral objects pottery vessels come first in number, bronzes next, and then some irons, silver articles and other artifacts. The pottery belongs mainly to the ding tripod, jar, pot, vase, gui food container, lian toilet box, bowl, hill incense burner, lamp, and house, well, granary and kitchen range molds; and the bronzes, to the bowl, dish, mirror and belt hook.
In October 2002,the Archaeological Team of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region carried out a rescuing excavation on the Gexinqiao site in Baise City.In the fifth layer of the site,they discovered a large-sized stone implement workshop,which yielded tens of thousands of stone artifacts and other objects.There are a great amount of stone material,tool-making implements such as stone hammers,anvils and whetstones,as well as axes,adzes and other products at different working stages.The site can be preliminarily dated to the middle and late Neolithic Age,about 7th-6th millennium BP.The discovery is of great academic value to studying stone-working processes and technology at that time.
