内蒙古巴林左旗辽代祖陵陵园遗址

Tomb-garden Site of the Liao Dynasty Ancestral Mausoleum in Barin Left Banner,Inner Mongolia

2003年以来,对辽代祖陵陵园及其附近相关遗存进行了较为全面的调查,并对陵园内的一号陪葬墓、陵外"太祖纪功碑楼"基址、陵园内"甲组建筑基址"等进行了发掘。调查和发掘获得了一些新的认识,填补了辽代早期陵寝制度研究的空白,推进了中国古代陵寝制度、辽代考古学与历史学等方面的研究。

The Liao Dynasty ancestral mausoleum is the tomb of the first emperor Yelii Abaoji and his wife. In 2003 to 2004, a comprehensive survey was made there and nearby to explore related remains. On this basis a salvage excavation was carried out in 2007, at the location of Funeral Burial 1 in the tomb-garden and the foundation of the ＂Tower of the Monument to the First Emperor 太祖纪功碑楼＂ on Guifu Hill outside the tomb-garden. In 2008, a salvage excavation was made again to investigate ＂Building-foundation A.＂ Inheriting the essence of Han and Tang mausoleum architecture and forming its own distinctive features in arrangement, this tomb-garden represents the model of early Liao tomb-garden layout. The survey and excavation obtained stage-marking results, made up the gap in the study of early Liao mausoleum architecture and advanced researches on ancient Chinese mausoleum architecture, as well as archaeological and historical studies of the Liao period.
