The central mound (M-1, or M-0?) possibly refers to the resting place of the 8th-century "regent" Ma zhang Grom pa skyes (from the bride-giver lingeage (zhang) of Zhang Sna nam) who is chronicled to have been buried alive in a tomb in the Sna nam land of Brang phu of Lower Stod lung (Hazod, forthcoming-c).
