湖北襄樊樊城菜越三国墓发掘简报

A Tomb of the Three Kingdoms Period Excavated in Caiyue,Xiangfan,Hubei

2008年10月,襄樊市文物考古研究所在湖北省襄樊市樊城区抢救性发掘了一座三国时期的墓葬。墓葬中出土了大量的随葬器物,有陶器、瓷器,铜器、铁器、漆器、玉器、石器、银器、金器等,其中出土的铜马是目前国内最大的铜马。根据墓葬形制及随葬器物判断,该墓应是较列侯一级略低的将军夫妇合葬墓。该墓的发掘为研究东汉未至三国时期的埋葬制度、丧葬习俗等提供了重要的实物资料,对于研究东汉末至三国时期的文化具有重要的意义。

In October 2008, a rescue excavation was held in the Fancheng Area of Xiangfan City, Hubei Province, to unearth a tomb of the Three Kingdoms period. A large number of burial objects were excavated, including pottery, porcelain, bronzes, lacquer, jades, and objects of iron, stone, silver, or gold. A bronze horse found in the tomb is the largest ever unearthed in China. Based on the structural features of the tomb and the funerary objects, this tomb appears to belong to a general and his wife, of a rank just below that of the feudal lords. The excavation provides important material data on customs and systems of burial from the late Eastern Han to the Three Kingdoms period, so it is of great value for study of the culture of that period.
