Tomb
In May 2010 archaeologists announced the discovery of Cao Xiu's tomb in Mengjin County, Luoyang, Henan Province. The tomb, 50 meters long and 21 meters wide, held chinaware, copperware, liquor cups, and jars as well as some human bones. Tests suggested that these bones belonged to a 50-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman. A bronze seal, about the size of a coin and engraved with Cao Xiu's name revealed the tomb owner's identity.
