2006年甘肃礼县大堡子山祭祀遗迹发掘简报

2006 Excavation of a Sacrificial Site in Dapuzishan Mountain Region in Lixian County,Gansu Province

20世纪90年代初,甘肃礼县大堡子山秦公大墓被盗掘,甘肃省文物考古研究所随后对被盗大墓进行了清理。2006年9月初,早期秦文化联合考古队对位于被盗大墓(M2)西南20余米处的祭祀遗迹进行发掘,发现的主要遗迹有人祭坑4座、乐器坑1座以及灰坑6个。乐器坑为一东西向的长方形坑,坑内出土有铜镈、钟和石磬等器物。其中1件铜镈上还铸有铭文。乐器坑出土的铜镈、钟与宝鸡太公庙出土的秦武公镈及甬钟形制接近,年代应同属春秋早期。

In early 1990s,Tomb M2 at the cemetery of the Qin State's nobilities in Dapuzishan mountain region of Lixian County was robbed, and a salvaging excavation had been carried out by Gansu Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. In early September of 2006, Collaborative Archeological Team of the Early Qin Culture excavated a sacrificial site about 20 meters to the southeast of Tomb M2. In this excavation, four human sacrifice pits, one musical instrument pit, and six ash-pits were found. The musical instrument pit oriented in an east-west direction is rectangle in shape.In the pit, bronze Bo, bronze bells, stone Qing, and other instruments were unearthed. One of bronze Bo bears inscriptions. The shapes of the bronze Bo and bells are similar to the Bo and bells of Qin Wu Gong (Wu Duke of Qin State) unearthed from the Taigong Temple in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. Thus their date should be also in early Spring and Autumn Period.
