A group of tombs dating back to 771-476 BC were discovered in China's Henan province, archaeologists said on Sunday.
The group, located in Luoyang city, is composed of more than 200 tombs, eight horse and chariot pits, over 30 ash pits and more than 10 kilns. It covers an area over 200,000 sq metres, Xinhua reported.
Alongside the tombs, an ancient city dating back to the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) was also discovered.
Archaeologists believe the site was home to an ancient tribe over 2,600 years ago. The tribe was one of the few in the region whose migration and time of perish was recorded.
Experts will study the tribe to learn the history of migration of minorities in central China.
