浙江余姚田螺山新石器时代遗址2004年发掘简报

Brief Report of the Excavation on a Neolithic Site at Tianluoshan Hill in Yuyao City, Zhejiang

田螺山遗址位于浙江省余姚市三七市镇相岙村,地处姚江谷地北侧低丘环绕的小盆地中部,西南距河姆渡遗址约7公里。2004年2～7月,由浙江省文物考古研究所、宁波市文物考古研究所和河姆渡遗址博物馆联合对该遗址进行了发掘,发掘面积为300平方米。根据土色、土质、地层叠压关系和出土器物的形制,将该遗址分为早晚紧密衔接且文化内涵各具特色的三个阶段。发掘和钻探情况表明,该遗址是迄今为止发现的河姆渡文化中地面环境条件最好、地下遗存比较完整的一处依山傍水式的古村落遗址,具有与河姆渡遗址相近的聚落规模和至少相似的年代跨度,对于研究河姆渡文化具有重要价值。
