Please Claim Corpses of Your Relatives Who Died 2000 Years Ago

Recently, two notices of body recognition/claiming have attracted attention. On March 13, the Management Committee of the Keqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone in Shaoxing, Zhejiang issued two corpse recognition/claiming notices in Keqiao Daily. The announcements showed that the relevant corpses were discovered during local archaeological excavations due to construction needs, ranging from the Han Dynasty ( (202 BC – 9 AD, 25–220 AD) to modern times. About 200 corpses. The deadline for claiming is March 19, 2024.

On the 14th, through the contact number left in the announcement, a News reporter contacted the relevant staff member, Mr. Qiu. Mr. Qiu told reporter that there are construction needs on the Xiquzhijiang land parcel, so archaeological excavation was conducted before construction. As a result, a large number of corpses were discovered during the excavation. Since the remains could no longer be identified, an announcement was made to identify the remains. “No one has come to claim them yet.”
