江西莲花县西汉安成侯墓墓主探讨

Discussion of the Tomb Occupant of the Western Han Tomb of the Marquis of Ancheng in Lianhua County,Jiangxi

江西莲花县西汉安成侯墓是近年新发现的重要列侯墓葬,因被盗扰,未出土纪年资料,所以给墓主判断带来了难度。发掘报告认为墓主是第一代安成侯刘苍。在该墓发掘报告的基础上,通过对出土的釉陶器、铜鍪、铜鐎壶及印章的再分析,推断釉陶器年代约在公元前129~前70年。铜鍪器形与西汉中期稍后铜鍪特征较为一致,铜鐎壶的器形具有西汉中期向晚期过渡的器物特点,龟钮金印"安成侯印"具备西汉中期或更晚风格,因此汉墓时间应为西汉中期晚段,墓主更正为第二代安成侯刘自当。另外,根据以上分析,释读并复原出随葬"封泥"当为玉印"安成侯信印",为列侯墓葬的研究提供了新资料。

The Western Han tomb of the Marquis of Ancheng in Lianhua County,Jiangxi is a recently discovered major marquis-level tomb.Due to being looted,the absence of chronological indicators brings diffi culty to the identifi cation of the tomb occupant.It is inferred in the excavation report that the tomb occupant is Liu Cang,the first generation of the Marquis of Ancheng.Building upon published data along with re-analysis of unearthed glazed pottery,bronze vessels,and seals,the tomb dates from 129 to 70 BC.The typology of bronze mou vessels suggests a slightly late stage of the middle Western Han.While the style of the bronze jiaohu kettles exhibits transitional characteristics from the middle to the late Western Han.The gold seal with turtle-shaped tube and inscriptions reading“the seal of the Marquis of Ancheng”also indicates a middle Western Han and later style.Therefore,the tomb likely dates to the late stage of the middle Western Han.The tomb occupant should be revised to Liu Zidang,the second generation of the Marquis of Ancheng.In addition,the scripts on clay sealings unearthed from the tomb are interpreted as the imprints of a jade seal with inscriptions“the offi cial seal of the Marquis of Ancheng”,and thus offering new data for the study of marquis-level tombs.
