内蒙古凉城县小双古城墓地发掘简报

Excavation in the Cemetery on the Xiaoshuang City-site in Liangcheng County,Inner Mongolia

1996年和2003年,在内蒙古凉城县小双古城墓地共发掘墓葬15座,出土了较为丰富的陶、铜、骨、石、金、玉器等。墓葬形制以偏洞室为主,也有少量竖穴土坑墓,大部分存在殉牲现象。这是在岱海南岸首次发现的东周时期北方游牧民族墓地,从其文化内涵分析,应属于此阶段存在于岱海地区的三类考古学文化遗存之一。

In 1996 and 2003, 15 tombs were excavated in the cemetery on the Xiaoshuang city-site in Liangcheng County, Inner Mongolia. The work brought to light rather rich funeral objects in pottery, bronze, bone, stone, gold and jade. The tombs are largely pits with caves, earthen pits occurring occasionally, and animal victims were seen in most cases. This is the first time archaeologists have discovered an Eastern Zhou period cemetery of the early nomadic ethnic group on the southern shore of Daihai Lake. The cultural content features the prevalence of pit-with-cave tombs and the entombment of the cord-mark jar, tiger design plaque, cloud pattern plaque and bronze knife set as the main combination of funeral objects. The available archaeological discoveries suggest that this cemetery belongs to one of the three archaeological cultures existing in the Daihai region during the Eastern Zhou period.
