内蒙古和林格尔县新店子墓地发掘简报

Excavation in the Xindianzi Cemetery in Heringer County,Inner Mongolia

1999年,在内蒙古和林格尔县新店子墓地发掘墓葬56座,出土大批铜、石、陶、骨、金器等。墓葬形制可分竖穴土坑、洞室、偏洞室三种,绝大多数存在殉牲现象。墓葬年代为春秋晚期至战国早期。此墓地与岱海、鄂尔多斯地区的同时期考古遗存既有共性,又有一定区别。墓地居民可能从事一种较为发达的游牧经济。

In 1999, 56 tombs were excavated in the Xindianzi cemetery in Heringer County, Inner Mongolia. They yielded large quantities of bronze, stone, pottery, bone and gold artifacts. In shape the tombs fall into three types： earthen pits, caves, and pits with caves, and largely contain animal victims. They go back to the late Spring-and-Autumn period for the majority, some burials possibly to the early Warring States period. The funeral bronzes belong mostly to the common types prevailing in the Great Wall zone during the Eastern Zhou. In cultural content the cemetery shares commonness with archaeological cultures in the Daihai and Ordos regions, but certain difference still exists. Judged by the animal victims occurring in a large number and the results of a diet analysis of the human bones and a test of the human limb bones, the cemetery owners must have engaged in rather developed nomadic economy.
