Tomb of Fu Hao
In 1976, archaeologists discovered Tomb number 5 at Xiaotun, which turned out to be Consort Fu Hao's tomb. Her tomb was the only royal tomb at Yinxu not to have been looted; although the tomb was one of the smallest at Yinxu, over 1600 objects were discovered inside her tomb. Among her tomb goods were almost 7000 cowrie shells, over 1600 kg of bronze goods, four bronze mirrors and eighty-nine dagger-axes.
755 jade objects were found inside her tomb; most of the jade was quarried in Xinjiang. Among her collection were antiques of her time, including jade from the Longshan, Liangzhu, Hongshan and Shijiahe culture.
