Dating back some 4,000 to 5,300 years, the site turned out to be one of the largest tomb areas related to the Liangzhu Culture of the Neolithic period yet found.

Like Mei, many field technicians provide technical support to professional archaeologists in locating, identifying and excavating relics. While the technicians may not be seen as the main professionals at such sites, they play a key role in this field.
