Tomb in E China may belong to queen of Southern Tang Kingdom

Archaeologists in east China's Jiangsu Province said Friday that a tomb unearthed in suburban Nanjing, the provincial capital, may have belonged to a queen of the Southern Tang Kingdom (937 AD-975 AD).

Based on the scale, structure and location of the newly-unearthed tomb, as well as a shinbone and women's headwear found in the tomb, archeologists believe it belonged to Dazhouhou, the queen of famed poet-king Lihouzhu and one of the last queens of the kingdom, according to an archaeologist from the Nanjing Museum.

The tomb was discovered last year near the imperial tombs of the kingdom's first two kings and their queens.
