1999 Excavation on the Gejiazhuang Site in Xingtai City,Hebci

1999年对葛家庄遗址的北区进行了较大规模发掘,发现大量灰坑、窑穴、祭祀坑和墓葬等遗迹,出土大批不同质地的遗物。所见文化遗存可以分为四期,分别属于龙山文化晚期、先商文化、中商文化和晚商文化。此次的发掘成果对研究商族起源、夏商文化分界和商史纪年等具有重要的学术意义。

In the first half of 1999,the Hebei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and other institutions carried out a large-scale excavation in the east of the northern area of the Gejiazhuang site in Xingtai City.The work resulted in the revelation of a great number of ash-pits,cellars,sacrificial pits and tombs,as well as quantities of pottery,stone,bone,antler,shell and bronze objects and oracle bones and shells.The remains discovered can be divided into four phases with six stages:The first phase be- longs to the late Longshan cuhure,and the second,third and fourth,to the pre-dynastic,middle and late Shang cultures respectively.The second and fourth fall into two stages either,but the richest in content is the third phase.The excavation has important academic value to studying the origin of the Shang people,the demarcation between-the Xia and the Shang,and the chronology of the Shang's history.
