从东山村遗址看长江下游社会复杂化进程

Viewing Complication Process of the Society in the Lower Reaches of Yangtze River from Dongshancun Site

张家港东山村遗址主要发现了马家浜文化时的墓葬、崧泽文化时期的房屋建筑和大型墓葬,其中9座崧泽时期高等级大墓的发现填补了崧泽文化时期没有高等级大墓的空白,为重新认识环太湖流域崧泽文化整体面貌和社会生产力发展水平提供了新资料,特别是遗址中崧泽文化早中期大墓与小墓的分区埋葬以及大房址的出现,证明至少在距今5800年前后,社会已有明显的贫富分化,出现了明显的社会分层。这为研究长江下游社会文明化进程提供了新的考古资料,对中华文明起源的研究也具有重要意义。

The excavation of Dongshancun site mainly discovered tombs of Majiabang Culture and a settlement of Songze Culture consisting of house foundations and burials,the nine large tombs of high rank of Songze Culture were the first discovery which 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 produ-ctivity of Songze Culture around Taihu Lake zone.The separated arrangement of large-and small-sized tombs and the large-sized house foundations in the early and middle phases of Songze Culture proved that social classes of the rich and the poor have emerged in Songze Culture around 5800 BP at least,which provided new archaeological materials for the researches on the process of social civilization in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and was of great significance to the research of the origins of Chinese civilization.
