Shihsanhang Burial

    287 graves were unearthed at the Shihsanhang archaeological site. Most of the remains were on their sides with bent limbs, with their faces facing southwest (the direction of the sea). Graves were mostly found outside the pillar holes. It is speculated that people of Shihsanhang buried dead relatives outdoor near their homes. Since no coffins were found in the unearthed graves, and most of the graves were not easily visible, it is speculated that people of Shihsanhang directly placed the dead into the dug holes.

十三行考古遺址出土287具墓葬，大部分呈現側身屈肢，頭朝向西南方，臉面向西北方(海的方向)。墓葬多在柱洞外圍發現，推測十三行人採室外葬，將死去的親人埋葬在住家附近。由於出土墓葬沒有發現棺材等葬具，大部份墓穴也不明顯，推測十三行人直接將亡者放入挖好的土穴。
