The First Excavation of the Kiziltur Cemetery in Baicheng County, Xinjiang

克孜尔吐尔墓地位于拜城县克孜尔乡,南北长约2公里,1990年共发掘27座带封堆的竖穴土坑墓,无葬具,有单人葬、男女合葬和多人合葬,其中既有一次葬、二次葬,也有一次和二次混合葬。随葬品以陶器为主,彩陶占74%,另外还有铜器、石器和骨器。结合碳十四测年数据,推断该墓地的年代为西周至春秋时期。

The Kiziltur cemetery discovered in 1998 is located in Kizil Township east of the seat of Baicheng County. It extends about 2km from the north to the south. The tombs are distributed at the southern end, and an ancient city site and ruins of dwellings were brought to light in the middle. In 1990, the Xinjiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology excavated here 27 earth-pit barrow-tombs, in which no coffins were found. The tombs contain single and couple or multiple joint burials of primary or secondary entombment, and some graves yielded human remains entombed in both ways. The funeral objects include mainly pottery, in which painted ware accounts for 74% , and bronzes, stone tools and bone artifacts were also unearthed. According to the finds and the results of C-14 dating, the cemetery can be dated to the Western Zhou and Spring-and-Autumn period.
