辽宁大连市土龙子青铜时代积石冢群的发掘

Excavation of Bronze Age Stone Barrows at Tulongzi in Dalian City, Liaoning

2005年,对辽宁大连市土龙子4～7号积石冢进行清理。各冢均由数座长方形石砌墓室组成。墓室铺垫地石,再以石板、石块砌筑四壁,墓顶用多块石板封盖,墓室之上再积石堆垒。埋葬方式为多人二次或多人多次葬。出土遗物以陶片为主。冢群的年代应为庙山青铜时代遗址上层文化时期,距今约3000年。

In 2005, archaeologists excavated Stone Barrows 4--7 at Tulongzi in Dalian City, Liaoning. These graves have several rectangular stone chambers each and are built in the following ways： first the hill ground was slightly leveled and paved with stones; then stone slabs and blocks were laid up to form tomb walls, and the rooms were covered with stone slabs; finally stones were piled up atop the chambers to form a relatively complete barrow. The dead are entombed in the way of collective burial at two or several times. It is noteworthy that some collective burials were fired. The unearthed objects are largely pottery, and cowries occur in a great number. Chronologically these barrows should be assigned to the Upper Miaoshan culture of the Bronze Age.
