San-men-hsia

During excavations in the area of San-mên-hsia, near the confluence of the Wei-ho and the Huang-ho, tombs of the ancient state of Kuo were found at Shang-ts‘un-ling; these were datable to the early Eastern Chou period (after 770 b.c.), according to a brief report in K‘ao-ku T‘ung-hsin (no. 11, 1958).
