内蒙古凉城县忻州窑子墓地发掘简报

Excavation in the Xinzhouyaozi Cemetery in Liangcheng County,Inner Mongolia

2003年,在内蒙古凉城县忻州窑子墓地发掘墓葬69座,出土了大量陶、铜、骨、石器等。均为东西向的土坑竖穴墓,流行头龛、二层台和殉牲,年代大致为春秋晚期至战国初期。墓地居民以从事畜牧业为主,也有一定的农业经济。该墓地的居民由具备北亚和古中原体质特征的两类人群构成,但在文化内涵上已经完全融为一体。

In 2003, 69 tombs were excavated in the Xinzhouyaozi cemetery in Liangcheng County, Inner Mongolia, with rich pottery, bronze, bone and stone objects brought to light. The graves are all earthen pits pointing to the north and south and are furnished with head niches, second-tier platforms and animal victims. They go back roughly to the time from the late Spring-and-Autumn to the Warring States period. Judged by the grave goods and the species of the animal victims, the cemetery owners must have been engaged mainly in animal husbandry with farming as a subordinate economy. Anthropological research results suggest that they comprised two populations with north Asian and ancient Central Plains physical features respectively, but their tombs had become identical in cultural content.
