It is understood that in 2021, more than 1,700 archaeological excavations have been approved nationwide. The candidate projects are all voluntarily declared by each excavation qualification unit, and after review by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, 32 entries are finally determined (the list is as follows). The Selection Office will organize a poll to recommend 20 items to enter the final evaluation.
The reporter saw from the shortlist that the Guo family cemetery in the Yuan Dynasty in Jinan, Shandong Province, entered the appraisal. The Tomb of the Guo Family of the Yuan Dynasty of Jinan, located in Dongjia Street, Licheng District, Jinan City, was discovered during the construction of the project and excavated by the Jinan Archaeological Research Institute from April to July 2021.

The Yuan Dynasty Guo family cemetery is the most important discovery of this excavation, the cemetery is located in the northwest of the excavation area, a total of 12 tombs, numbered M7-M18.
