Many of the documents refer to the Han burial of the Lady of Tai [軑 / Dai],( c. 186 B.C.) at Ma Wang Tui [馬王堆 / Ma Wang Dui], near Changsha [長沙], Hupei [湖北 / Hubei], China. Even though the woman had been dead for more than 2,000 years, a relatively perfect preservation had been achieved. See also SCC2/191/5.
