长沙东牌楼7号古井(J7)发掘简报

Brief Excavation Report on the Ancient Well (coded J7) of the Eastern Archway of Changsha City

2004年4-6月,长沙市文物考古研究所对位于市中心五一广场东南侧的古井群进行了考古发掘,出土青瓷器、陶器、漆木器等数百件,在编号为J7的古井中清理出了一批东汉简牍。经发掘整理,初步推断J7的使用年代为东汉桓帝至灵帝末期,废弃年代为灵帝末年至孙吴初期。简牍所见年号为东汉灵帝的建宁、熹平、光和、中平,经研究断定这批简牍的性质主要属于长沙郡和临湘县通过邮亭收发的公私文书,在形制、内容、书法等方面具有重要研究价值。

From April to June of 2004, the Relics and Archaeology Institute of Changsha City excavated the well groups which stand at the Southeastern Wuyi Square of the central Changsha City. Celadon ware, pottery, lacquer ware, in total of several hundreds, were unearthed; moreover, a batch of bamboo slips, which were dated back to the Eastern Han, were discovered in an old-aged well. It is concluded that the well was put into operation from the Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han to the late period of the Emperor Ling, and it was abandoned from the late Ling to the early stage of Sun-Wu. The reign titles which were discovered in these bamboo slips are Jianning, Xiping, Guanghe, Zhongping, belonging to the Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han. This group of bamboo books, which are great value to the research on styles, contents of bamboo slips and calligraphy, are official and private documents that were received and dispatched through post houses by Changsha Prefecture and Linxiang County.
