陕西府谷县明代孤山堡古城考古收获

Archaeological Investigation and Excavation of Gushanbao Ancient Walled-town in the Ming Dynasty

孤山堡古城遗址位于府谷县孤山镇中心街以北的孤山山峁上，现古城圈内的小村称城内村。城脚下镇中心以南即为稍稍偏西南走向的孤山川。调查发掘前，古城部分城墙及北门和西门尚存，但城墙包砖大部分已被拆走。神（木）朔（州）铁路破古城南门和西城墙南段自东南向西北穿过，复线在其北部，将切掉东南城角和西门以北的部分城墙。

Based on historical texts, the gushanbao ancient walled-town was constructed during the Ming Dynasty Zhengtong years and served as a military defensive facility. The layout of this walled-town is in a slender eggplant shape. The length from south to north （the longest axis） is 650m and the width from east to west is between 180 -235 m. Four gateways were situated on both sides of wall and two barbicans connected to the north and south gateways, but only the north one is preserved now. A total of four rearm＇an （protruding wall adhesion） was respectively situated on the east, west and north wall. The body of wall was constructed with rammed-earth and protected by bricks from outside. A brick-kiln was discovered in the north of the walled-town. An arch-shape drainage gate was founded below the south wall.
