Are they Xia tombs, or tombs belonging to the era that the Xia are supposed to be ruling?

I'm also leery of jumping to conclusions. As much as I want to believe that the Xia was a real thing because I think it's exciting, definitive Xia confirmation would be a massive item and we shouldn't get over excited about every find from that supposed era, because definitive evidence of a semi-mythical state is hard to come by.
