河南偃师商城Ⅳ区1999年发掘简报

Excavation of 1999 in the Fourth Area of the Shang City-site at Yanshi,Henan

Ⅳ区位于偃师商城大城东城墙北段,在该区曾发掘出城墙、道路、护城壕、墓葬和灰坑等。此次发掘再次以系列的地层关系,确认了偃师商城大城城墙的修建年代为偃师商城商文化第二期早段。此外通过对灰坑堆积包含物的讨论,为进一步了解偃师商城的布局和手工业的规模、性质等奠定了一定基础。

The fourth excavation area of the Shang Yanshi city-site lies in the northern section of the eastern city-wall for the larger sub-city of the Shang city. In 1999, an area of 1739 sq m was excavated, and remains of a city wall, a road, a moat, tombs and ash-pits were revealed there. The unearthed serial stratigraphical evidence verified that the larger sub-city and its walls in the Shang Yanshi city was built at the early second stage of the Shang culture at Yanshi. In addition, the finds from the ash-pits and other vestiges provided data for researching into the layout of buildings and the scale of handicrafts in the Shang Yanshi city.
