ARCHEOLOGISTS in north China’s Shanxi Province have excavated a rare turtle-shaped brick tomb. The site, which dates back to the mid- to late Jin Dynasty (1115-1234) was discovered in April by a man while excavating the foundations for a new house, the provincial institute of archaeology said yesterday. The tomb’s shape is unusual and the brick carvings are important for research on funeral customs during the dynasty, it said, adding that the tomb was likely shared by several generations of people.
