Fig. 5.

Mosaic plots illustrating the distribution of grave goods and burial construction. The sizes of tiles correspond to the numbers of cases that fall within each category. Categories with no cases are marked by thin lines. Sex refers to the skeletally assessed sex of the skeleton in the burial, chambers refers to the number of funerary chambers, outer coffin refers to the presence of an outer coffin, number of items refers to the number of grave goods in a burial, teeth and bones and animal bones refer to the numbers of isolated animal bones and/or teeth in a grave. The heat map indicates deviation from the null hypothesis that all parameters of the funerary context are distributed evenly: dark blue, category is overrepresented; pink, category is underrepresented. (A and B) Distribution of items of different materials in the Jinagzhai and Xipo burials. (C) Distribution of items of different materials in the Eastern Zhou burials (Xiyasi and Changxinyuan combined). (D) Grave construction parameters in the Eastern Zhou sites (Xiyasi and Changxinyuan combined).
