Sources
- Bai et al. (2021), Journal of Ethnopharmacology 275: 114114: the site and its coordinates, the four tombs and their burials, the medical slips and the meridian model, the counts of fruits in M2 and M3, the radiocarbon date and the coin date, the morphological identification and the comparison of the two tombs' fruits, and the authors' medical reading.
Source discrepancies
- Two dates. The radiocarbon date is of fruits from M3 only (2050 ± 30 BP, 2115–1930 cal BP). The date of 157–141 BCE for both M2 and M3 rests on banliang coins, as given in the excavation report Bai et al. cite. The infobox range covers both.
- Name. Bai et al. call the site the Laoguanshan Cemetery; the papers on the medical slips that they cite (Jin et al. 2017; Liu et al. 2017, Cultural Relics 12) speak of the Tianhui cemetery or the Han tombs at Tianhui town. The infobox gives Tianhui cemetery as another name.
- The prescription. The words quoted from the slips are Bai et al.'s English rendering of the text as published by Liang et al. (2016). The reading of the part used as the seed is theirs.
- Wild and cultivated fruits. The assignment of the M2 fruits to cultivated and the M3 fruits to wild cannabis is Bai et al.'s, from 20 fruits measured in each tomb and from surface and base features. The article attributes it.
- Bai et al. do not give the years of excavation or name the excavators; the infobox leaves both empty.
