江苏张家港市东山村新石器时代遗址

The Neolithic Site at Dongshan Village,Zhangjiagang City,Jiangsu

东山村遗址经两次发掘,发现了10多座马家浜文化墓葬和一处包括房址和墓地的崧泽文化聚落,其中首次揭露9座崧泽文化早中期高等级大墓。崧泽文化早中期大墓与小墓的分区埋葬以及大房址的发现,证明至少在距今5800年前后,已有明显的社会分层。这为研究长江下游地区社会文明化进程提供了重要资料。

The two terms of excavation to Dongshan Village Site recovered a dozen or so burials of Majiabang Culture and a settlement of Songze Culture consisting of house foundations and burials, the nine high-ranked large tombs among which were the first discovery of tombs of Songze Culture in this rank. The discovery of these nine high-ranked tombs filled the blank of high-ranked tombs of Songze Culture and provided new data for re-understanding the comprehensive feature and the level of the social productivity of Songze Culture in circum Taihu Lake zone. The separated arrangement of large- and small-sized tombs and the appearance of large-sized house foundations in the early and middle phases of Songze Culture proved that at latest around 5800 BP, social classes have emerged in Songze Culture and provided important materials for the researches on the process of social civilization in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the origins of Chinese Civilization.
