辽宁本溪县新城子青铜时代墓地

The Bronze Age Cemetery at Xinchengzi Village,Benxi County,Liaoning

2006年,在本溪县新城子村发掘了16座盖石石棺墓。墓室均以石块或石板垒砌,墓顶盖石为整块大石板。墓中未见人骨,仅1座出有人牙。各墓随葬品均较少,种类有陶壶、罐及石斧、铲、纺轮等。这类墓葬属于广义的"石棚"类遗存,年代大体为西周晚期至春秋时期。同类遗存广泛分布于辽东北部地区。

In 2006, archaeological excavations were conducted to the Dapiandi Cemetery at Xinchengzi Village, Dongyingfang Township, Benxi County. In total 16 tombs were recovered, all of which were built with stone blocks or slabs, and the remaining roofing of which were all large single stone slabs. Most of the tombs yielded no human remains, the only exception of which was a tomb with human teeth preserved. All of the tombs had grave goods but very few, the main types of which were pottery pots, jars and stone axes, spades, spindle wheels and so on. These tombs could be called ＂Stone Slab-roofed Cist Tombs＂ belonging to the broad-sensed ＂Dolmens＂, and their dates were roughly around the late Western Zhou to early Spring-and-Autumn Periods. The cultural remains of this type are widely distributed in the north of eastern Liaoning Province.
