Paomadi Cemetery is located in Zhengji Town of Yicheng, Hubei province. A great number of bronze wares from the late Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty have been unearthed from the cemetery. This paper analyzed elemental compositions and metallographic structures of some bronze wares of this cemetery. We found that the bonzes of the later Warring States Period can be categorized as lead-tin bronzes or tin bronzes, depending on the function of the bronzes. The bronzes of the Han Dynasty are mostly lead-tin bronzes with lower alloy composition and wider alloy compositional ranges in comparison to those of the Late Warring States Period. Most of the bronzes analyzed were cast metal; however, three pieces were hammered. The three hammered bronzes are all utensils with open-tops and thin walls.
