The exploration covered an area of 1201650square meters and found 10 ancient sites, totalling 115250 square meters>, 8 cemeteries inctuding 115 tombs; 35 -storage pits of different periods; 1 palaeolithic locality;wetI and stone tol manufacturing site of the YangshaoCulture and a large building foundation of the Warring States Period and Han Dynasties etc.. The area where the expressway ties is an extremely important ancient route(Yaohan Route) connecting Guanzhongplain and Huabei Plain and thus a battlefield of different periods. All kinds of cultural relics are abundant and valuable for the staty of the history of ancient war, transportation and culturat exchange. To reduce the damage which the construction wilt bring to cultural relics to a minimum, an archaeological excavation has to be carriedout at ten percentimportant sites and cemeteriesof above-mentioned, totalling11500 square meters before the constructionof the expressway.HenanProvincial Institute of CulturalRelics and Archaeologyis committed,in about 120 to 150 days,tothe fullcompletion of archaeologicalexcavation after the landbeing acquired and prior to the actualcommencement of the expresswayworks and will mobilizeits manpowerand resources corresponding to the task. Among the above-mentioned 33 cultural retics locatities,in the light of our investigatioanit is known that the following 7 sites are slightlyfar from the expresswayand thus will not be injured during the construction.Theyare Suqin (a famous politicianof the WarringStates Period)tomb,Baizhuang site, Yinghaosite,Xiashi walled town,Xiashigraveyard,Xiya site and Shij iagou graveyard. Even though Yanghe site, Anbeicun site, Nanwang site ,flekousite at Yima,Wuyaotou site and Xiaojiaokousite are stightly near to the expressway, however the archaeological drilling didn't expose cultural remains and the construction will, not cause damage.It should be pointed out that Zhaojiayuan pataeolithic locality,although without dritling,must be carried out in the future. The next is an discription of the explorations and the future work plan of the above-mentioned sites.
