The Cemetery Complexes of the Xiongnu Nobility
The Funeral Sites of the Xiongnu Elite comprises five sites with tombs of the Xiongnu, a tribal confederation of nomadic peoples who inhabited the Central Asian Steppe from the 4th century BCE to the late 2nd century CE. Most Xiongnu Elite tombs consist of a rectangular stone terrace above the burial pit and an adjoining entrance passage to the south. The tombs often contained specific ritual objects and the heads and long bones of animals.
