河南密县黄寨遗址的发掘

Excavation at the Huangzhai Site in Mixian County, Henan

一、前言黄寨遗址位于密县新县城东南9公里处,属来集乡黄寨村。遗址在村西南的高台上。双洎河在台地的南部由西向东流过,台地北边的断崖下是新(新郑)密(密县)公路(图一)。遗址所在的台地为河旁阶地,高出现河面约有10余米。遗址遭破坏严重,现存面积约5000平方米(东西长100、南北宽50米)。

Huangzhai Site is situated at Huangzhai Village, Mi County, Henan. The Huangxi River flows from west to east at the south of the site. In the spring of 1991, Henan Provincial Institute of Archaeology made an excavation at the site, and 8 ash pits and some artifacts were unearthed. Based on the stratigraphical and typological analysis, the site was considered to be the Erlitou Culture and could be divided into two periods. The first one corresponded to the Erlitou Ⅰ Culcure or even earlier, while the second shared lots with the Erlitou Ⅱ Culture.
