The Shangcunling cemetery is an archaeological site at Sanmenxia in Henan, China, belonging to the State of Guo of the late Western Zhou and early Spring and Autumn periods. Excavated in the 1950s and again in the 1990s, it holds hundreds of tombs and chariot pits, including princely tombs with bronze vessels, jade burial garments and an early iron-bladed sword.
