河南偃师市二里头遗址墙垣和道路2012～2013年发掘简报

The Excavation of the Walls and Roads of the Erlitou Site in Yanshi City,Henan in 2012-2013

在二里头遗址围垣作坊区发现了一条近南北向的夯土墙垣(Q7)和墙垣两侧的路土遗迹。墙垣可能建于二里头文化第二期,使用至第四期早段。道路的年代为二里头文化第三期至第四期早段。结合历年的发现,推测墙垣为围垣作坊区的西垣或西侧另一区域的东垣,道路为墙垣存在时期的附属设施。

In November 2012 through May 2013, the Erlitou Archaeological Team of the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences found a rammed-earth wall roughly in north-south orientation （QT） in the wall-enclosed workshop zone of the Erlitou Site, as well as the hard-packed road surfaces distributed along the both sides of the wall. The wall might have been built in Phase II of Erlitou Culture and used down to the early stage of Phase IV of Erlitou Culture. The existence of the roads lasted from Phase Ⅱ to Phase Ⅲ or the early stage of Phase IV of Erlitou Culture. Referring to the previous discoveries, the excavators suggested that this rammed-earth wall would be the west wall of the wall-enclosed handicraft workshop zone or the east wall of another zone to its west, and the roads were the auxiliary facilities of the wall when it was in use.
