Abstract:The ancient tombs of Hhenglingshang site in boluo county are the most significant graveyard site of Shang-Zhou period in Guangdong province as yet. Based on a series of scientific studies on the jade samples from these tombs, the authors found that there are 2-3 characteristic peaks at 2 960 cm-1(quite poor), 2 920 and 2 853 cm-1 in the infrared spectra. According to the tests and analyses of the infrared spectra of pure waxes and other modern jade wares treated with wax, the authors believe that these unearthed jade wares were enhanced with wax and the ancestors of Lingnan region in Shang-Zhou period (1600B.C.-221 B.C.) probably understood treating jade wares with wax to enhance their appearance.
