西安韦曲高望堆北朝墓发掘简报

Gaowangdui Tomb of the Northern Dynasties in Weiqu,Xi'an

2009年10～11月,西安市文物保护考古所清理了一座北朝墓葬。墓葬地处西安市长安区韦曲高望堆村,方向坐北朝南,为长斜坡墓道带两个天井的双室土洞墓,甬道和墓室绘有表现木构建筑的简单壁画。墓中出土随葬器物130件(组),主要是陶俑、模型明器以及日用陶器等,基中骑马鼓吹仪仗俑出土31件,是目前北朝墓出土此类俑最多的一例。根据陶俑的造型特点,初步判定此墓的时代应为西魏初年,介于大统元年至大统六年(535～540年)之间。

From October to November in 2009, archaeologists excavated a tomb of the Northern Dynasties in Gaowangdui Village, Weiqu Street, Chang＇an Area, Xi＇an City. This north-south oriented tomb was com- posed of a sloping passage, two vertical shafts, and two earthen cave-chambers. There were simple mural paintings representing a wooden structure on the wall of the paved path and chambers. About 130 burial objects （counting both individual pieces and groups） were unearthed, consisting mainly of pottery tomb figures and tomb models, and pottery wares for daily use. The figures include 31 honor guard figures, riding on horses, playing music. This tomb holds the largest number of such pottery figures ever found in a tomb of the northern Dynasties. Based on the features of the figures, this tomb can be dated to the early Western Wei, between the first and the sixth year（535- 540 C.E. ） of the Datong reign.
